What Our Clients Say
Power of Attorney Services in Bensalem, Pennsylvania
Bensalem is Bucks County’s most populous township, located in lower Bucks County near the New Jersey border. The township includes Parx Casino (Pennsylvania’s most-visited casino), Neshaminy Mall, and a diverse population. Bensalem’s economy blends gaming, retail, healthcare, and proximity to both Philadelphia and Trenton job markets.
A Bensalem Power of Attorney is essential for protecting yourself and your family. Whether you live in Street Road Corridor, Neshaminy, Cornwells Heights, Andalusia, Bridgewater, Eddington, Trevose, or anywhere in Bucks County, having properly prepared Pennsylvania POA documents ensures someone you trust can make decisions if you become incapacitated.
Why Bensalem Residents Need a Durable Power of Attorney
Bensalem’s Parx Casino workforce holds gaming industry benefits including union pension and healthcare funds. The township’s diverse population needs accessible POA services. Bensalem’s proximity to New Jersey means some residents have cross-state employment or property. Many residents commute to Philadelphia with complex employer benefits. Bucks County’s court system handles guardianship — a POA prevents costly proceedings. Pennsylvania’s inheritance tax adds estate planning urgency.
⚠️ Pennsylvania’s Inheritance Tax — Why POAs and Estate Planning Matter
Pennsylvania is one of only six states with an inheritance tax: 0% for surviving spouses, 4.5% for children/grandchildren, 12% for siblings, and 15% for everyone else. This tax applies to most assets transferred at death, making comprehensive estate planning — including POAs — essential for Bensalem families. A financial POA allows your agent to manage assets and make strategic transfers during your lifetime that may reduce inheritance tax liability.
🏥 Bensalem Healthcare & Medical Planning
Bensalem residents have access to healthcare through Jefferson Bucks Hospital (formerly Lower Bucks Hospital), Holy Redeemer Hospital (nearby), and Nazareth Hospital (nearby Philadelphia). A Pennsylvania Health Care Power of Attorney (20 Pa.C.S. § 5421) ensures your chosen agent can make medical decisions at any Bensalem-area facility.
💰 Financial Protection — No Automatic Spousal Authority
Pennsylvania is an equitable distribution state. Your spouse has NO automatic authority over individual accounts or property during incapacity. A Bensalem financial POA provides immediate legal authority.
Pennsylvania Durable POA Under 20 Pa.C.S. § 5601
Under Pennsylvania law, a financial POA must contain specific durable language stating it is not affected by the principal’s disability or incapacity. Pennsylvania requires two witnesses for financial POAs. Notarization is not legally required but is strongly recommended for acceptance by banks and title companies.
Standard Power of Attorney
Terminates upon incapacity — exactly when you need it most.
✓ Durable Power of Attorney
Remains effective during incapacity under 20 Pa.C.S. § 5604. This is what Bensalem residents need.
What Makes Bensalem POA Needs Unique
Bensalem’s Parx Casino employees hold gaming industry benefits similar to those in Las Vegas — union pension funds, healthcare trusts, and tip-based income structures requiring designated agents. The township’s New Jersey border location means some residents have cross-state employment, property, or financial interests. Pennsylvania and New Jersey have different POA laws — our preparation ensures your documents work in both states.

What Powers Can You Grant?
Financial Power of Attorney
Banking, real estate, investments, taxes, business operations, and all financial matters. Pennsylvania’s statute (20 Pa.C.S. § 5601) provides broad authority categories.
Health Care Power of Attorney
Names your healthcare agent under 20 Pa.C.S. § 5421. Separate from the financial POA and Living Will.
Pennsylvania Living Will
Specifies end-of-life treatment wishes under 20 Pa.C.S. § 5442. Works alongside the Health Care POA.
⚠️ Pennsylvania Law Requirements
Financial POA: Must be signed by TWO witnesses under 20 Pa.C.S. § 5601. Notarization strongly recommended but not legally required.
Health Care POA: No witness or notarization legally required — but both strongly recommended for acceptance by healthcare facilities.
Pennsylvania is NOT a community property state. Spouses need POAs for financial authority during incapacity.
