Questions clients often ask

Is a Louisiana power of attorney the same as a mandate?

Louisiana commonly uses the civil-law term mandate for this authority relationship. Many clients still call the document a power of attorney.

Can Rouge prepare a limited power of attorney?

Yes, where the requested document is appropriate for notarial handling. A limited mandate can focus on a specific transaction, document, or task.

Can Rouge advise me on what powers to give?

Rouge does not provide legal advice. Rouge can help organize the document process, but legal advice about what authority should be granted may require an attorney.

Can this be handled through a mobile appointment?

Often, yes. Rouge offers mobile appointments by location and availability, with mobile convenience fees estimated through LegacyPath™ - Quote.
