Who Speaks for You: Understanding Power of Attorney (Part 2) — with estate lawyer Jordana Talsky

Planning for future care can feel intimidating, but it is one of the most meaningful steps you can take to protect yourself and the people who may need to make decisions on your behalf. In this episode, Wills and Estates Lawyer Jordana Talsky returns to explain the two key documents that operate while you are alive: Power of Attorney for Property and Power of Attorney for Personal Care. Jordana breaks down what each one does, how they work together, and the real-life situations where they become essential. She also shares guidance on choosing substitute decision makers, navigating family dynamics, and options for those who may not have someone close to appoint. If you have ever wondered who will advocate for you when you cannot, this conversation offers clarity, reassurance, and practical next steps.Follow Jordana Talsky: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordana-talsky/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cest_la_vie_law Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61564664342590&mibextid=LQQJ4dBlog: https://cestlavielaw.blogspot.com/X/Twitter: https://x.com/cest_la_vie_lawTo watch this episode, subscribe to The Hart Of It All's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TheHartofitAllPodFollow The Hart Of It All: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehartofitallpod/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thehartofitallpodTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehartofitallpodFollow Teri Hart:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/terihartCo-Executive Produced by: Carrie Hayden & Jess Carroll of 6of1 DigitalInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/6of1digitalI’m here to share stories and conversations, not medical or professional advice.
