Power of Attorney Generator
Create a general or limited power of attorney naming your agent, ready for notarization.
General vs. limited power of attorney
A general power of attorney gives your agent broad authority to act on your behalf across financial and legal matters. A limited (or "special") power of attorney restricts the agent to specific tasks you spell out — for example, signing closing documents on a home sale while you're out of town. Checking durable means the authority continues even if you later become incapacitated; without it, a standard POA automatically ends if you lose capacity, which defeats the purpose for many people setting one up for elder-care planning.
Get it notarized
Most banks, title companies, and government offices won't accept a power of attorney without notarization, and some states require witnesses as well. Generate the document here, then bring it (unsigned) to a notary so you can sign it in their presence — signing beforehand can invalidate the notarization in some states.
