10 BENEFITS OF A COMPREHENSIVE POWER OF ATTORNEY

Powers of attorney are voluntary delegations of authority by the principal to the agent. The principal has not given up his or her own power to do these same functions, but rather has granted legal authority to the agent to perform various tasks on the principal’s behalf.

A comprehensive power of attorney ensures someone you trust will be in charge of important decisions and tasks, from paying bills to monitoring health care, and is a crucial part of long term planning.

Having covered the explanation of what a durable power of attorney is, here are the top 10 benefits of having a comprehensive power of attorney.

Provides the ability to choose who will make decisions for you (rather than a court).

If someone has signed a power of attorney and later becomes incapacitated and unable to make decisions, the agent named can step into the shoes of the incapacitated person and make important financial decisions. Without a power of attorney, a guardianship or conservatorship may need to be established, and can be very expensive.

Avoids the necessity of a guardianship or conservatorship.

Someone who does not have a comprehensive power of attorney at the time they become incapacitated would have no alternative but to have someone else petition the court to appoint a guardian or conservator. The court will choose who is appointed to manage the financial and/or health affairs of the incapacitated person, and the court will continue to monitor the situation as long as the incapacitated person is alive. While not only a costly process, another detriment is the fact that the incapacitated person has no input in who will be appointed to serve.

Provides family members a good opportunity to discuss wishes and desires.

There is much thought and consideration that goes into the creation of a comprehensive power of attorney. One of the most important decisions is who will serve as the agent. When a parent or loved one makes the decision to sign a power of attorney, it is a good opportunity for the parent to discuss wishes and expectations with the family and, in particular, the person named as agent in the power of attorney.

The more comprehensive the power of attorney, the better.

As people age, their needs change and their power of attorney should reflect that. Seniors have concerns about long-term care, applying for government benefits to pay for care, as well as choosing the proper care providers. Without allowing the agent to perform these tasks and more, precious time and money may be wasted.

Prevents questions about principal’s intent.

Many of us have read about court battles over a person’s intent once that person has become incapacitated. A well-drafted power of attorney, along with other health care directives, can eliminate the need for family members to argue or disagree over a loved one’s wishes. Once written down, this document is excellent evidence of their intent and is difficult to dispute.

Prevents delays in asset protection planning.

A comprehensive power of attorney should include all of the powers required to do effective asset protection planning. If the power of attorney does not include a specific power, it can greatly dampen the agent’s ability to complete the planning and could result in thousands of dollars lost. While some powers of attorney seem long, it is necessary to include all of the powers necessary to carry out proper planning.

Protects the agent from claims of financial abuse.

Comprehensive powers of attorney often allow the agent to make substantial gifts to self or others in order to carry out asset protection planning objectives. Without the power of attorney authorizing this, the agent (often a family member) could be at risk for financial abuse allegations.

Allows agents to talk to other agencies.

An agent under a power of attorney is often in the position of trying to reconcile bank charges, make arrangements for health care, engage professionals for services to be provided to the principal, and much more. Without a comprehensive power of attorney giving authority to the agent, many companies will refuse to disclose any information or provide services to the incapacitated person. This can result in a great deal of frustration on the part of the family, as well as lost time and money.

Provides peace of mind for everyone involved.

Taking the time to sign a power of attorney lessens the burden on family members who would otherwise have to go to court to get authority for performing basic tasks, like writing a check or arranging for home health services. Knowing this has been taken care of in advance is of great comfort to families.

How to set up a Power of Attorney using ARM Trustees Incap Solutions

What is Incap Solutions?

Incap Solutions is a service which enables you to plan for the “in-between” situations whereby an individual is temporarily or permanently incapacitated and is unable to make personal medical decisions or financial decisions.

Incap Solutions employs the use of Medical and Financial Power of Attorney.

A power of attorney is an important estate planning tool through which a person (often known as the principal, grantor or donor) grants certain powers to another person known as the agent, donee or attorney-in-fact. While executing a power of attorney (otherwise known as the POA), the principal could determine the magnitude of power to be granted to the attorney-in-fact, by either authorizing the attorney to deal with only a particular subject matter relating to the principal (a specific power of attorney) or to handle most/all of the principal’s matters (a general power of attorney).

Typically, a power of attorney would terminate upon the death of the principal, there are cases whereby the principal is neither dead nor functional. A Durable power of attorney would be useful in such instances where the principal becomes incapacitated.

Don’t go broke before payday

Giddy with excitement, Jane made her way into Surulere Mall. Hardly glancing around, she found her way into Pretty toes, a massive suite on the left side of the mall. Three weeks ago, on an outing with her friends, she had discovered the shoe of her dreams. A classy, chic, and unusual Jimmy Choo, nothing could stop her from getting it for herself ahead of Valentine’s Day, not even the fact that she had no money. Instantly, she gave the sales lady 20% of the price to tie down the shoe, promising to return as soon as salary was paid. She got her January salary alert and went to the mall to fulfil her promise.

Two weeks after, Jane dragged herself into the house, hissing as she realised there was no power. She called the generator guy again, and again he insisted she needed seven thousand Naira to fix it. Just seven thousand Naira, and she couldn’t afford it; except she wanted to walk to work the rest of the month. Who could have guessed the generator would pack up? It’s not that her job pays too little; she could just never spread it through the month. This month for instance, if only she had not bought those shoes or the human hair from Bimbola’s stylist. Now she barely had enough for essentials like car maintenance and the month was merely on its 17^th day.

Many people can relate to Jane’s dilemma. You welcome salary with excitement, settling bills and buying at will for the first few days until your dwindling account gives you a red sign, forcing you to stop. You are already broke even though it’s still a long time to the next pay.

However, this situation is easily avoidable by simply drawing up a personal budget. A few days to your salary, write out the amount you are expecting and a plan as to how it will be spent. Start with your savings, then the ‘must haves’; items that are essential to your well being like house maintenance, food, transport, electricity. Etc. Proceed to the ‘would like to haves’ like aso ebi for your cousin’s wedding and the food processor your wife won’t stop talking about. Up next is the ‘Can do withouts’ like the belt you want just because it is fine or a new toy set for your baby who already has a lot of toys.

Often, as you write the list and input the corresponding cost, you discover the ones you will have to postpone or completely delete. You can use the percentage system to divide your income or actual values of items on the list. Remember to leave something for entertainment, emergencies and your faith (if applicable).

It is important to put the budget in a place where you can easily see it as the month progresses; by your bedside or on your phone. Your success rate depends on your compliance rate. The more you stick to your budget, the more money you have for the things that matter. You will also be able to save consistently. You can set up a direct debit order to your Mutual Fund Investment to ensure nothing gets in the way of your savings or financial goals.

Market Update October 2020

[vc_row type=”in_container” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ width=”1/4″][image_with_animation image_url=”8336″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In”][/vc_column][vc_column centered_text=”true” column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]

Equity: The equity market sustained its bullish momentum over the month of October with MoM and YTD return at 13.78% and 13.74% respectively. We attribute the stellar rise to the improving domestic investors’ appetite as yields in the fixed income instruments continues to depress.

On a sectorial basis, the market was driven by the following sectors including industrial (+27.88%), Telecoms (+41.02%) and Banking sector (+7.24%).

Going forward till the end of the year, we expect increased domestic investors’ participation in the Nigerian equity market due to the negative real return offered in the fixed income space.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ width=”1/4″][image_with_animation image_url=”8338″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In”][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]Fixed Income: The yields in the fixed income market continued its downward trend over the month of October. The buoyant level of system liquidity remained the major driver for the downtrend as it averaged c.N400 billion over the period. Consequently, fixed income yields declined by an average of 160bps to 3.71% across the short – mid end of the curve.

Over the rest of the year, we anticipate further reduction in yields given the lower borrowing from FG and level of system liquidity.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ width=”1/4″][image_with_animation image_url=”8343″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In”][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]Oil Prices: Crude oil prices remained volatile over the course of October, with Brent and WTI prices rising to $43.34 and $41.46 respectively on the back of optimism of stimulus package. Also, over 92% of crude oil production shut down in the Gulf of Mexico due to Hurricane Delta supported the rally in oil prices.

However, on the flip side, concerns about weakening demand on the back of rise in Coronavirus cases in US as well as lockdowns across Europe and uncertainty about US election tapered down the gains earlier recorded in crude oil prices.
Overall, Brent crude oil prices fell by 9%, while WTI declined by 11% on a MoM basis to close at $37.46 and $35.79 as at 31st of October 2020.

Looking ahead, short term oil fundamentals look benign, however we expect gains to be capped by ongoing uncertainty fueled by rising cases of Coronavirus as well as dichotomy between crude oil demand and supply.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ width=”1/4″][image_with_animation image_url=”8365″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In”][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]Inflation: Nigeria’s headline inflation surged to its highest level since February 2018, at 13.7% YoY in September, slightly above our estimate of 13.56% YoY. Again, headline inflation was driven largely by higher food inflation, which accelerated to 16.7% YoY, from August’s 16.0% YoY. While the speed of the increase was somewhat a surprise, food inflation has been pushing higher since mid-2018, with renewed upward momentum following the land border closures in October 2019. Ongoing security, weather-related and structural challenges further added to the rising trend.

Looking forward, we expect the uptrend in year-on-year headline inflation to persist due to sustained impacts of the border closure, adverse impact of elevated transport cost, climatic factors, and FX market restrictions.

Currency: Across the three FX window, the Naira remained relatively stable against the dollar. We link the stability to a number of factors including stable FX reserve, oil price stability and CBN policies on foreign exchange transactions. Consequently, the parallel market hovered around N460- N465/$ whilst the IEFX and official rate remained flat at N387 and N379 respectively.

Outlook: For the coming month, we anticipate further reduction in yields given the lower borrowing from FG and level of system liquidity. For equities, we expect increased domestic investors’ participation in the Nigerian equity market due to the negative real return offered in the fixed income space.

We will continue to invest your assets in safe instruments, as we seek to preserve the value of your assets.
