For professionals

Learn the Power of Attorney role — so you can guide the people you serve through it.

The program for the person who serves as an agent is the POA Caregiver Program. The POA Caregiver Professional Program is different: it prepares you — the professional — to understand the role, work confidently with the people acting under a Power of Attorney, spot fraud, protect the principal, and guide your own clients and patients.

$599

One-time enrollment · seven self-paced modules, final exam & Certificate of Completion · access emailed right after checkout. No subscription.

Why this matters

Understanding Power of Attorney starts with the person who will serve as the agent. But everyone else the role touches — advisors, bankers, care managers, clinicians, legal support — should understand what it entails, how to work with it, how to guard against fraud, and how to help protect the principal. This course gives you that fluency, and the tools to pass it on to the families who depend on you.

Power of Attorney is recognized in all fifty states, so this course is national — the principles work wherever you practice. Execution rules, durability, and what an agent may do still differ from state to state, so you’ll learn to spot those differences and always confirm the specifics for the state you’re in.

The method

Built on Recognize, Reassure & Refer

1

Recognize

Spot when a client or patient is stepping into the power-of-attorney role — or needs to name one — and understand what a valid Power of Attorney is, what it authorizes, and where it stops.

2

Reassure

Answer the questions that overwhelm families in plain language, watch for the red flags of fraud and abuse, and help protect the principal — without practicing law or medicine.

3

Refer

Know exactly when and to whom to refer, so the family lands with the right attorney, physician, or financial professional — and you stay the trusted first call.
