Do I Need a Power of Attorney or a Conservatorship?

This workshop is designed to help the attendee understand the different types of powers of attorneys and important considerations to make when executing a legal instrument giving authority to someone else to assist with decision-making. Learn the difference between supported decision-making and substitute decision-making.
