Frequently Asked Questions

Why should POA agents maintain bank statement records?

As a POA agent, you have a fiduciary duty to act in the principal's best interest and keep accurate records. Exporting all bank statements to Excel and archiving them annually protects you if family members question a transaction or if the principal becomes incapacitated and a court reviews your management. Every deposit and withdrawal should be documentable.

Can a POA agent use these records for Medicaid planning?

Yes. Medicaid requires a 5-year look-back period reviewing all financial transactions. If you manage a parent's or spouse's finances as POA agent, maintain Excel exports of all bank statements going back 5 years. These records demonstrate that all transactions were for the principal's benefit — not gifts or disqualifying transfers — for Medicaid long-term care eligibility purposes.
