The Blog
“The best things in life are the people we love, the places we’ve been and the memories we’ve made.”
At Ortego Law Firm, our mission is to provide families with thoughtful, reliable information that empowers them to make informed decisions about their future. Through our blog, we aim to simplify complex legal topics like estate planning, probate, and family law, offering clear guidance and practical advice.
Sharing this knowledge is important because it helps families protect their assets, care for their loved ones, and secure their legacy for generations to come. By staying informed, you can ensure that your family’s future is safe and well-prepared.
Why Every Senior Needs a Power of Attorney (And How to Choose the Right One)
Aging comes with its share of challenges—both expected and unexpected. While we can’t predict the future, we can plan for it. One of the most important legal documents every senior should have is a Power of Attorney (POA).
This single document ensures that someone you trust can step in and manage your affairs if you become unable to do so. Without it? Your family could be left struggling to make decisions, facing delays, or even needing court intervention to access accounts, make medical choices, or handle your estate.
