  2 0 I generally recommend against forms for important legal documents, including powers of attorney. Since a POA allows one person to act on behalf of another person for financial, healthcare, or other decisions, it is important to delineate the subjects and situations to which the POA applies. By consulting an attorney, you would ensure that the POA would be tailored to your specific situation. Furthermore, an attorney could tell you whether the principal's competence or some other issue might affect the validity of the POA. I understand you don't want to spend money, but having a POA drafted will not necessarily be expensive. You could get quotes to see whether you can bear the cost before resorting to a form (and if you have a financial hardship, you can request reduced fees).

  1 0 My first bit of advice is not to take legal advice from me. However, I once had to step up for a friend that was in legal trouble (jail) and I needed POA so I could access his bank account, sign over the title of his car, enter his apartment w/ the landlord's key, etc. I don't remember exactly how I went about getting the (durable) POA except that I called a local law library. The librarian directed me to an on-line form or emailed me the form. I had to do a whole bunch of filling in the blanks & the whole thing seemed like a joke of a legal document but it did the trick. If anyone had ever contested the document, I'm not convinced it would have held up. But, like I said, in my situation it worked swimmingly. I'm not in Seattle.. I'm far away in the sticks. Good luck with everything. mizmojo answered in Legal 11 months ago | Report Comment on this answer Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  0 0 I wouldn't recommend getting any legal forms for free, as they don't come with any reputable instruction or explanation. But, Quicken's Willmaker software has very good instructions and explanations, and can give you very serviceable estate documents for the average/typical estate. It's only $31 on Amazon. If you have minor children, hold any IP rights, own a business or have other non-average features of your estate, you should see an attorney for your will and other estate documents.
