If you are in need of support while your soldier is away (or at home!), join us at our ![](img src="http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k14/xox0xo/aerocharm/signs/military/deployments/01/20.png)
Instructions
Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Things You'll Need:
- Military power of attorney
Step1
Designate a person, usually a spouse or a family member, who will take care of your financial and personal matters while you are deployed. Step2
Determine the length of time a power of attorney will be necessary. Depending on the deployment schedule, this is usually 6 months to a year. Step3
Locate a local U.S. Armed Forces Legal Assistance office. You are not required to pay and you can use their services if you are active duty, retired active duty or a dependant of either. Step4
Consult with a legal assistance attorney to create a military power of attorney. Step5
Specify the actions you want included in a special power of attorney. If you choose a general power of attorney, you will give total control of your finances and personal matters to the person you designate. Step6
Sign the power of attorney before you deploy! Even the simplest of tasks, like shutting off utilities, will be impossible without that signed piece of paper.
