We’re pleased to share a new resource that may be helpful as you plan for the future and care for your loved ones.
The Michigan Department of Attorney General has announced that free, fillable Power of Attorney (POA) forms are now available for download. These user-friendly documents were created by the Kimble Center for Legal Drafting at Cooley Law School and are designed to make it easier for individuals and families to appoint someone they trust to make financial or medical decisions on their behalf, should the need arise.
This important update follows new legislation passed under Michigan’s Uniform Power of Attorney Act. While the law includes a statutory form, it is not fillable. The forms provided by the Kimble Center are compliant with the updated law and can be downloaded, filled out, and printed easily.
Available forms include:
As stewards of our Catholic values, it’s important to ensure that our wishes are known and respected, especially in times of illness or incapacity. Thoughtful planning protects not only ourselves, but those we love and the ministries we hold dear.
You can access the new forms through the Michigan Elder Abuse Task Force’s webpage, or feel free to contact our office if we can help guide you toward Catholic-aligned resources for end-of-life or legacy planning.
If you’ve already named the Church or a Catholic ministry in your estate plan, please let us know so we can honor your intentions through membership in the Immaculate Conception Legacy Society.
Together, we continue to build a legacy of faith, hope, and love.
