You’ve been entrusted with a Power of Attorney. Being named doesn’t mean you’ve been prepared.
A Power of Attorney can grant authority without providing a practical roadmap for the responsibilities ahead. POA Caregiver™ is the plain-language education and navigation system preparing you for organizing, acting under, and transitioning out of that responsibility, whether to hand off or to move into the next role, with education and resources designed to help people across the country.
The responsibility is legal. The commitment is human.

“I’m so glad I attended this course.”
Wherever you are, there’s a next step.
Plan
Understand the role and get the right documents in place.
Establish
The document exists — understand it, know where it’s kept, and know when your authority begins.
Organize
Gather accounts, bills, and medical info to act calmly.
Act
Handle banks, healthcare, and benefits as the agent.
Transition
Power of Attorney authority ends at death. Records and information may then need to be shared with the person who has authority, such as an executor or trustee.
A Power of Attorney & Health Care Directive isn’t just for the elderly. It’s for every adult.
An accident or illness doesn’t check your age. A Power of Attorney and a healthcare directive protect you and the people you love — before a crisis decides for you.
Practical tools for the part of the role in front of you.

Frequently asked
Do I need any legal background?
None at all. Everything is written in plain language for family members and friends serving as agents. It’s education, not legal advice, and it points you to qualified counsel for state-specific questions.
Is this legal advice?
No. We teach universal principles and best practices for Power of Attorney caregiving in the U.S. Power of Attorney requirements vary by state, and nothing here replaces your own attorney, accountant, or medical professionals.
What do I get with the Program?
Eleven on-demand modules and 72 lessons, a final exam, and the Certificate of Completion. Self-paced, with progress saved automatically.
How are the Handbooks different from the Program?
The Handbooks are references you keep and return to: the National Handbook explains the role across the United States, and the Minnesota POA Handbook adds Minnesota-specific forms and detail. The Program is a self-paced course with a final exam and a Certificate of Completion. Pair them for the complete picture.
Which program is right for me?
If you are — or expect to become — the person acting as someone’s Power of Attorney, choose The POA Caregiver Program. If your clients or patients face the power-of-attorney role and you want to guide them well, choose The POA Caregiver Professional Program.
Is there a program for professionals?
Yes. The POA Caregiver Professional Program is for the advisors, bankers, care managers, clinicians, real estate and legal-support professionals whose clients face the power-of-attorney role. Seven self-paced modules teach you to recognize the moment, reassure with plain-language education, and refer well — with a final exam and a Certificate of Completion. It is education, not legal advice.
Can you speak to our clients or team?
Yes. POA Caregiver offers client seminars, professional training, workshops, and virtual presentations on serving as an agent under a Power of Attorney — tailored to your audience. See the formats and request a session on the Speaking & Education page.
