Before assuming a refusal is improper, it is important to determine exactly why the institution is refusing to act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Practical Steps to Take<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a power of attorney is rejected:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ask for the specific reason in writing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Request the name and title of the person making the decision.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Determine whether additional documentation is being requested.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Review the power of attorney to confirm that it grants authority for the transaction in question.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Consult with an attorney if the refusal appears inconsistent with Illinois law.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Often the issue can be resolved with additional documentation or by escalating the matter to the institution\u2019s legal department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>En resumen<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A power of attorney is one of the most important estate planning documents a person can sign, but having the document is only part of the equation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When a bank, brokerage firm, or other institution refuses to honor a power of attorney, the problem may be anything from a missing certification to a misunderstanding of Illinois law. Determining the reason for the refusal is usually the first step toward finding a solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are encountering difficulties using a power of attorney in Illinois, obtaining legal guidance early can often prevent delays and help ensure that the principal\u2019s affairs are managed when assistance is needed most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Palley Law te invita a consultar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Palley Law counsels clients throughout the Chicago area in powers of attorney, wills, trusts, and estate planning, and provides prospective clients an initial consultation at no charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-50\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-accent-background-color has-background has-text-align-center wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/calendly.com\/ppalley-palleylawoffice\">Horario<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-50\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-accent-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"tel:+13122615885\">Llamar<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You carefully prepared powers of attorney as part of your estate plan.
