One POA, done right
We focus on one straightforward Power of Attorney instead of a giant template catalog. State-specific guidance stays baked into the path from start to finish.
We tell you when to stop
If capacity is unclear, siblings disagree, or the situation needs legal advice, we say so. The goal is a safe handoff, not pushing you to finish.
Before you start — helpful to have nearby
- Your parent’s state of residence

Common questions before you start
What’s the difference between a general and special POA?
A general POA covers broad, ongoing help (finances, bills, property). A special POA covers one specific task (sign a house sale, handle one account). Our intake asks a few questions and points you to the right one.
I’m the adult child — can I do this for my parent?
Yes — this path is written for you. Your parent is the one granting the authority, so they’ll need to review and sign. You can gather the information and drive the process.
How much does it cost?
A Power of Attorney starts at $35 as a one-time fee. Notarization, if you need it, is a separate optional step with transparent pricing.
Does it work in my parent’s state?
Yes. The document is built to your state’s rules — including who must sign, who must witness, and whether notarization is required.
When should we talk to a lawyer instead?
If capacity is in doubt, siblings disagree, there are large assets or trusts, or you need legal advice about strategy or disputes — pause and call an attorney.
What’s included
- A state-specific Power of Attorney for an aging parent
- Plain-English intake that decides general vs. special POA for you

When to call a lawyer instead
We built this for families who need a straightforward POA. If your parent’s capacity is in question, siblings disagree on who should act, or there are large or complex assets involved, pause here. A licensed attorney can protect you better than a document template.
