How Much Does It Cost to Get a Power of Attorney?
When you consider legal procedures, fees and other expenses need to be part of the equation. The good news is that a POA can be affordable. Although state laws and requirements vary, a POA is legal in every state. Many states require the principal’s signature on the POA form to be notarized. Some states also require that signatures of one or more witnesses also be notarized.
Many lawyers charge a set fee to prepare a POA. Fees may vary according to the type of POA, its length, and complexity, but the average cost of a power of attorney is about $300. Some lawyers charge by the hour, with the average hourly rate for a family or probate lawyer typically in the $250 to $350 range. However, you also may be able to draft some POA forms online at low cost. In fact, your only fees may be for the cost to notarize the signatures, if your state requires notarization.
