00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:40.240
Boom. Well, good afternoon,
Michiganders. It is Halloween Tuesday, October

2
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:45.920
thirty one, twenty twenty three,
and this, of course is Tuesday with

3
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:51.679
Tom, Michigan's only weekly podcast where
we answer your questions about estate planning and

4
00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:57.039
a state settlement in Michigan, and
we don't send you a bill. As

5
00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:00.119
always, I'm your host, Tom
Doyle, a state planning attorney, lifelong

6
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:07.799
Michigan resident, and ambassador for all
things good in this great state of Michigan.

7
00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:12.239
Welcome, welcome, welcome to today's
program. Well, I hope all

8
00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:19.120
of you have a good evening tonight
if you're out with your young ones trick

9
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:25.799
or treating, but please stay safe. Last episode a little while ago,

10
00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:29.959
because I've been gone for a bit. But who can witness my durable power

11
00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:34.400
of attorney? So if you have
a durable power of attorney and you're wondering

12
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:41.760
who it is that can witness it, I encourage you to listen to last

13
00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:47.280
week's episode and now continuing essentially with
what appears to have been. If you've

14
00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:53.760
been following a theme lately where we're
spending time talking about powers of attorney,

15
00:01:53.920 --> 00:02:00.879
today, we want to be sure
that you know the limits of your power

16
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:08.080
of attorney. So in that respect, I am going to be replaying that

17
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:15.120
discussion in a previous episode of Tuesday
with Tom where I talked about the limits

18
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:19.759
on your power of attorney. But
as always, please remember that what I'm

19
00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:24.319
about to discuss during the program is
for educational purposes only. It is not

20
00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:30.120
intended to be legal advice. You
need to work with your attorney to determine

21
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:47.639
what is appropriate for you and your
estate plan. Your power of attorney is

22
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:53.360
not unlimited. Well, as I
talked about another program, what is a

23
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:59.520
power of attorney? Essentially, it's
a legal document in which you allow or

24
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:06.840
a point, or authorize whatever terminology
you want to use someone to act in

25
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:14.120
your place. Now, it might
be a durable power of attorney. That

26
00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:17.639
would be it's going to allow that
person to take care of things even if

27
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:24.960
you're incapacitated, although in Michigan it
does require particular language to make it durable.

28
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:29.680
If it's not going to be durable, then the power of attorney would

29
00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:34.400
end at the point in time you
become incapacitated. Well, most people have

30
00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:38.680
a power of attorney so that somebody
can take care of business for them if

31
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:44.439
they become incapacitated. So most people
are going to have or want to have,

32
00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:47.280
what's called a durable power of attorney. And as you likely know,

33
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:53.719
there are two basic types of powers
of attorney. There is one for financial

34
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:58.199
to take care of your banking,
your investments, your life insurance, your

35
00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:01.400
retirement plans, whatever that happens to
be. And then there is going to

36
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:08.800
be the medical power of attorney,
sometimes called a patient advocate, depending upon

37
00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:15.680
what terminology is being used in the
form. So financial powers of attorney usually

38
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:20.519
are going to include certain powers that
might be the power to open a bank

39
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:26.319
account, take money out of the
bank, pay your bills, maybe trade

40
00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:30.439
in stock, sell real estate,
buy real estate. All of those kinds

41
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:36.360
of things are oftentimes included in a
financial power of attorney. And then the

42
00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:41.240
medical power of attorney, of course, is a document in which you are

43
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:51.199
allowing the agent to make healthcare decisions
for you. Now, there are limitations

44
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:59.800
on powers of attorney. Some of
those limitations will start with the document.

45
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:06.759
It it inevitably happens every few months, someone's going to contact Amanda and I

46
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:10.879
and Amanda and I and one of
the questions is going to be, well,

47
00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:15.199
I've got this power of attorney.
Can I do X under the power

48
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:19.439
of attorney? Well, the problem
in answering that question is we can't answer

49
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:29.079
it without seeing the document because the
document starts with laying out very specific powers

50
00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:32.839
that you have. And it might
be a very broad general financial power of

51
00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:39.000
attorney that allows somebody to do everything
that they need to do relative to someone's

52
00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:44.199
finances and filing tax returns, et
cetera. Or it might be a very

53
00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:49.240
limited power of attorney. Example,
let's say that you have a home and

54
00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:53.480
you have a closing scheduled on your
home in January, but you're going to

55
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:59.240
be in Florida in January. You
might give somebody else a limited power of

56
00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:04.279
attorney to sign whatever documents need to
be signed simply for the purpose of closing

57
00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:08.920
on the sale of your house.
That doesn't give them the authority to do

58
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:14.920
banking and pay taxes, etc.
It's simply limited to that authority. Or

59
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:18.120
you might be a trustee of a
trust and you have a bank account and

60
00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:21.839
you want someone else to be able
to help you manage that bank account.

61
00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:26.680
You don't want them to be a
trustee, You simply want them to have

62
00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:30.920
authority to write checks on the account, deposit the accounts. You could in

63
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:34.839
that case have a limited power of
attorney drafted for that purpose. I had

64
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:41.519
a client several years ago who was
heading off for his military service, and

65
00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:46.199
in that case, he had an
account and that account was to be used

66
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:55.240
to pay his bills, and he
simply wanted his brother to have authority to

67
00:06:55.800 --> 00:07:00.319
write checks, to make deposits,
to do transactions only on that account.

68
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:04.720
So we created a limited power of
attorney. So it starts with the document

69
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:10.879
itself, and that's going to tell
us what specific authorities that you have,

70
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:17.720
whether it's limited or a broad type
power of attorney. So Number one limitations

71
00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:25.959
in the document itself. Number two
limitations under the law. There are limitations

72
00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:30.959
under the law, some basic limitations
that are going to be applicable whether it's

73
00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:36.560
a financial or a medical power of
attorney. Some of those would be for

74
00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:43.519
example, under either whether it's financial
or medical, you the agent, the

75
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:48.240
person that's named and given the authority
is called an agent or perhaps a patient

76
00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:54.839
advocate in the document. They are
what the law calls a fiduciary, and

77
00:07:54.959 --> 00:08:00.800
as a fiduciary, they have a
fiduciary duty. And what is that the

78
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:07.800
agent is required at all times to
act in the best interest of the person

79
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:13.360
who gave them the power of attorney. That's a fiduciary duty. So the

80
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:18.439
person under your financial power attorney does
not have the legal authority do what they

81
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:24.120
want to do to help themselves.
It's to help you. That's the fiduciary

82
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:31.639
duty. So everybody appointed under either
a financial, medical, limited broad doesn't

83
00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:41.879
matter, has that same fiduciary duty. Second, there is always the power

84
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:46.360
that is reserved by the person making
the power of attorney to revoke it,

85
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:52.399
then get rid of it or change
it. That is their right to do

86
00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:58.399
that. Now, under Michigan law, as long as that person is competent,

87
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:05.039
he or she can revoke the financial
power of attorney for any reason.

88
00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:11.360
We will actually see that under a
healthcare power attorney in the state of Michigan,

89
00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:18.720
the person can in fact revoke it
even if they are incompetent. So

90
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:24.360
to revoke a financial they have to
be competent. To revoke a medical they

91
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:28.279
don't even have to be competent or
do that. But in many cases the

92
00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:35.279
power can be revoked. An agent
might be removed by a court proceeding.

93
00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:41.320
Let's say that the agent is acting
improperly. A family member can file a

94
00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:46.039
petition to probate court challenging what the
agent is doing. And if the court

95
00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:52.120
determines that the agent is not acting
in the principle's best interest, i e.

96
00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:58.200
Violating that fiduciary duty or otherwise violating
the terms of the power of attorney

97
00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:03.600
itself, the court could revoke the
power of attorney, and if it was

98
00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:11.639
so inclined, even appoint a conservator
who would now have the legal authority over

99
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:20.039
that individual's assets. Also, power
of attorney ends at death. Financial medical

100
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:26.960
they both end at death. Now, we also in Michigan have some very

101
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:35.000
specific restrictions that apply to financial durable
power of attorneys, and that is one,

102
00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:43.000
the agent has to take reasonable steps
to follow the instructions of the principle.

103
00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:46.879
So you need to talk to the
person about what do you want me

104
00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:54.360
to do in managing your assets and
paying your bills or making investment decisions,

105
00:10:54.480 --> 00:11:03.240
whatever happens to be. Two,
if the principle requests it, the agent

106
00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:07.799
has to keep the principle informed of
what they are doing. They have to

107
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:13.559
provide an accounting to the principle so
that the principle can look at the bank

108
00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:18.919
account records and know what's being done
for them, or if that person is

109
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:28.000
incapacitated, then that accounting would be
provided to either their guardian or conservator who

110
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:33.840
would be appointed by the probate court. But there needs to be an accounting

111
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:39.759
provided to the principle or their representative, if you will, so that they

112
00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:48.279
can all know what you're doing under
that financial power of attorney. You cannot.

113
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:56.440
You cannot make a gift from the
principle's property unless the durable power of

114
00:11:56.519 --> 00:12:01.960
attorney allows you to do that.
So you can't just give their stuff away

115
00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:07.120
just because that's what you want to
do, or in some cases you might

116
00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:13.360
think about doing some medicaid planning,
and sometimes under medicaid planning, giving stuff

117
00:12:13.399 --> 00:12:16.799
away might be a part of a
medicaid plan. But you can't do that

118
00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:26.440
unless the power of attorney specifically authorizes
you to make gifts. Also, you

119
00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:35.399
cannot unless the power of attorney authorizes
it. You cannot own assets or take

120
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:41.559
the individual's assets and put them into
joint accounts with yourself. So you can't

121
00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:46.840
take a bank account that's in the
principal's name and add your name as a

122
00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:52.840
joint owner. You can put your
name on it as the agent under the

123
00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:58.279
power of attorney, but you can't
put your name on it as a joint

124
00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:05.360
owner again unless document specifically allows you
to do that. Since you're going to

125
00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:11.360
have to provide accountings, that means
you're going to have to maintain records.

126
00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:16.960
You have to maintain records of the
transactions that you take, receipts, disbursements,

127
00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:20.679
investments, bank statements, checks,
all of those things. You have

128
00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:31.799
an obligation under Michigan law to maintain
those records. Also, you might be

129
00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:39.919
liable for any damage or loss to
the principle and subject to any appropriate remedies

130
00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:46.240
if you breach that fiduciary duty,
going back that duty that you have to

131
00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:50.600
be doing things in the best interest
of the principle. If you breach that

132
00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:56.320
fiduciary duty, you can be held
accountable for that. You might in fact

133
00:13:56.440 --> 00:14:05.240
be subject to civil or and or
criminal penalties if you violate your duties to

134
00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:11.720
the principle. So we have a
number of restrictions if you will under Michigan

135
00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:18.960
law that apply in addition to those
overall restrictions, specifically to your serving as

136
00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:30.000
the financial power of attorney. Likewise, Michigan has certain restrictions relative to the

137
00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:37.039
agent or patient advocate who's serving under
a medical power of attorney. As I

138
00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:46.279
noted before, the patient can in
fact revoke a medical power of attorney even

139
00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:56.120
if they are incompetent. That's under
Michigan law. Understand that the medical power

140
00:14:56.159 --> 00:15:05.440
of attorney is not effective unless the
patient is unable to participate in decisions regarding

141
00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:11.519
his or her medical or mental health. That financial power of attorney, I

142
00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:16.639
can make it effective right now.
I can give you the authority to sell

143
00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:20.519
my home today or to manage my
bank accounts today, if I chose to

144
00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:26.200
do that. But a medical power
of attorney in the state of Michigan only

145
00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:35.279
becomes effective when the patient is unable
to participate in his or her own medical

146
00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:45.840
or mental health care decisions. Also, the patient advocate decision, even though

147
00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:52.240
normally they end at death, if
there is a provision in the document allowing

148
00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:58.679
for anatomical gifts, that authority is
going to be able to be exercised by

149
00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:11.039
you even after the patient's death.
Next, the patient advocate cannot shall not

150
00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:21.600
exercise powers concerning the patient's care or
custody, or medical treatment or mental health

151
00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:30.639
treatment that the patient could not have
exercised on his or her own behalf.

152
00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:36.720
Remember you're serving as a fiduciary.
You're doing what's at the best interest in

153
00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:41.440
this case of the patient, and
you do not have any authority to make

154
00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:51.559
any decisions that the patient him or
her could himself or herself could not make.

155
00:16:52.679 --> 00:17:03.759
Also, that treatment that you decide
to have or treatment that you decide

156
00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:15.759
to withdraw, you cannot withdraw or
withhold treatment from a patient who's pregnant that

157
00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:25.880
would result in the pregnant patient's death. You can make decisions to withhold or

158
00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:33.680
withdraw treatment that would allow the patient
to die if they're not pregnant and it's

159
00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:37.240
not going to result in their death, but again, only if the patient

160
00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:47.000
has expressed in a clear and convincing
manner that the patient advocate is authorized to

161
00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:56.359
make such a decision and that the
patient acknowledges that a decision could or would

162
00:17:56.960 --> 00:18:06.079
allow them to die. So the
doc itself has to include language where the

163
00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:14.519
maker of the document expresses in a
clear and convincing language that you are authorized

164
00:18:14.680 --> 00:18:21.920
to make the decision to withhold or
withdraw treatment that would allow them to die,

165
00:18:22.200 --> 00:18:29.839
and the patient acknowledges that the decision
could or would allow them to die.

166
00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:32.440
So you don't just have the ability
to say, hey, I'm going

167
00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:36.160
to withdraw treatment. You need to
look at the document and make sure that

168
00:18:36.200 --> 00:18:41.160
there's specific language in the document that's
going to comport with this very specific requirement

169
00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:48.440
under Michigan law. Finally, a
patient advocate under a power of attorney for

170
00:18:48.480 --> 00:19:00.920
healthcare cannot shall not receive any compensation
for serving for performing services. Whoever they

171
00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:07.039
may be reimbursed actual and necessary expenses. Maybe you have to travel back to

172
00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:11.079
take care of a patient, or
you have some other expenses that are incurred,

173
00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:18.119
but you cannot be paid for the
time that you serve. Contrast that

174
00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:22.920
with the financial power of attorney.
Under a financial power of attorney, an

175
00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:26.880
agent can be paid for serving as
a financial power of attorney, but under

176
00:19:26.920 --> 00:19:33.119
the healthcare power you cannot be paid. So you have some very specific limitations

177
00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:41.160
under Michigan law that do apply to
your ability as the patient advocate under that

178
00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:47.839
health care power of attorney. And
then, in addition to, if you

179
00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:52.640
will, limitations that would be set
forth in the documents, in addition to

180
00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:56.880
the limitations that I've talked about that
apply are set forth under the law in

181
00:19:56.920 --> 00:20:03.519
the state in Michigan, you're also
kind to potentially have, under some circumstances,

182
00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:07.759
what I would call outside limitations,
and what do I mean by those?

183
00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:15.279
A bank might not be willing to
accept that financial power of attorney.

184
00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:18.799
Ever. Now, and then we
run into that where someone takes a financial

185
00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:22.640
power of attorney into a bank.
It's appropriate under Michigan law, it's appropriately

186
00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:29.519
executed, but for some reason the
bank is not willing to accept it,

187
00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:37.519
or perhaps a broker isn't willing to
accept it, or in the medical arena,

188
00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:44.440
it might be that a medical provider
is not willing to accept your appointment

189
00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:49.640
under that power of attorney for healthcare. Now, what do you do if

190
00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:56.279
that happens. Well, Unfortunately,
under Michigan law, you cannot force a

191
00:20:56.319 --> 00:21:02.559
bank to accept the power of attorney
if they're not willing to accept it.

192
00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:07.799
And you might not be able to
force a doctor to accept your power as

193
00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:11.799
a patient advocate if they're not willing
to accept it. But what those documents

194
00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:18.079
at least do is they give you
the right to go into court, to

195
00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:22.519
be at the head of the line
to ask a court to give you the

196
00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:26.680
authority. It might be that they're
going to have to point you now as

197
00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:30.680
a guardian for the person so that
you can make those medical decisions, or

198
00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:37.160
they're going to point you as a
conservator over the assets so that you can

199
00:21:37.680 --> 00:21:42.319
make those decisions. Because once you're
appointed by a probate court, if you're

200
00:21:42.400 --> 00:21:49.960
appointed the conservator, the bank has
to accept your authority. If you're appointed

201
00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:56.279
as the guardian, the medical provider
has to accept that authority. So in

202
00:21:56.359 --> 00:22:00.279
that case where someone says no,
we're not willing to accept this, it's

203
00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:03.519
not the end of the road.
But it does give you the right to

204
00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:08.960
be first in line to go to
the probate court to get yourself whatever authorities

205
00:22:10.359 --> 00:22:18.759
you do require. Again, so
what do we conclude your power of attorney

206
00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:23.200
is not unlimited. We need to
look at the document. We need to

207
00:22:23.279 --> 00:22:29.519
understand what limitations the law places on
those documents. We need to understand what

208
00:22:29.640 --> 00:22:34.720
practical limitations sometimes apply. Bottom line
is this, make sure that if you

209
00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:41.960
are appointed and are going to operate
under a power of attorney, whether it's

210
00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:49.039
financial or medical, make sure that
you understand the limitations on your authority to

211
00:22:49.240 --> 00:22:53.759
act as power of attorney so that
you can assure yourself that you are not

212
00:22:55.160 --> 00:23:15.400
violating those limitations. Of course,
if you have questions about your powers of

213
00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:19.200
attorney or interested in having powers of
attorney prepared for you, a man and

opportunity to help you. We can also

215
