EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED: POAs & Estate Plan Updates

Blustein, Shapiro, Frank & Barone, LLP Partner Megan Conroy joined Bob O. on “Oldies 98.9 FM, The Hudson Valley’s Real Oldies Station” on Mar. 22, 2025 to discuss the importance of planning ahead and the necessity of estate planning

In this interview, Conroy stresses the critical role of Power of Attorney (POA) in estate planning, emphasizing the need to expect the unexpected.  “None of us have a crystal ball,” she notes, emphasizing that a POA is crucial not just for death, but also for incapacitation, preventing lengthy and costly guardianship proceedings. By having a clear, up-to-date plan and a reliable POA, you simplify the process for your executors and trustees, ensuring your wishes are honored, no matter what life throws your way.
