Hernandez to Host Informational Event to Educate Families about Power of Attorney
Aurora, IL - On Saturday, August 30, the office of State Representative Barabara Hernandez will host an informational event to educate families about Power of Attorney and the process for designating a legal Power of Attorney. Licensed attorneys will be on hand to explain the Power of Attorney process, including how it can be used to designate legal guardians for minors or property. They will also be available to answer questions.
“Every family should be prepared in the event a family member is incapacitated or unable to make decisions for themselves,” said Representative Hernandez. “I’m proud to host this event so that people in our community understand what Power of Attorney is and why it’s an important issue for families to address. I’m thankful for the attorneys who will be on hand to share their expertise with all who attend.”
