What a Guardian Can Do

Each time a guardian makes a request on behalf of a member, ETF will review the Letters of Guardianship of the Estate. The request will be approved or denied based on the authority granted in the letters.

What Your Agent Can Do

Your financial power of attorney document determines the scope of your agent's authority. You may give your agent the ability to make many changes to your WRS account or limit them to a few actions.

Pre-tax Savings Accounts

Did you know you can set aside part of your income before taxes to cover certain expenses? Depending on the type of account, you may also earn interest or invest the money to save more. Watch this video series to see how it works.

Statement of Incapacity

Some financial power of attorney documents require that the principal is incapacitated before the agent can act on their behalf.

Guardianship

A guardian is appointed by a court when a person is unable to make or communicate medical decisions, financial decisions, or both. Learn how Letters of Guardianship can impact a WRS account.

Financial Power of Attorney

Your WRS account information is confidential, and no one can receive information about or make changes to your account unless authorized. You can authorize another person to make changes to your account by submitting a financial power of attorney document to ETF.
