There's been a lot of misinfor-
mation given through the media the
past Year or so about the absolute
necessity of every citizen having
power of attorneys. One St. Marys

and living wills.
"I've been telling people that I
don't think you really need them,"
Stephen said of power of attorneys
for health care. He quickly added
that this is for health care reasons
only. For personal property, power
of attorneys are a nice document to
have.

were always governed by the
Powers of Attorneys Act, so there's
nothing really new about them. It

"They should be a family

what's going on," he said, adding
that a copy of the document should
be in the house as well as at the
