You do not need the full plan today.
We keep the first step focused on one Power of Attorney, one signing state, and a quick fit check before you move into drafting.
One POA, done right
We focus on one straightforward Power of Attorney instead of a giant template catalog. The path stays focused 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
- Whether they need broad help or one specific task
- Who in the family will act on their behalf
How it works
Step 1 · 2 min
Answer a few questions
Your parent’s state, the help they need, and who will act on their behalf.
Step 2 · 5 min
Review your draft
We assemble a POA draft based on your answers. You review it before paying.
Step 3 · When your parent is ready
Review the signing steps
Follow the signing checklist for your workflow. Notarization, if you choose to use it, is handled as a separate step.

Common questions before you start
What’s the difference between a general and special POA?
A general POA typically covers broad, ongoing help (finances, bills, property). A special POA typically covers one specific task (sign a house sale, handle one account). Our intake asks a few questions and points you to a likely starting path.
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?
We ask for your parent’s state and guide you into the Power of Attorney path we currently support. If we cannot support the situation safely, we tell you before you pay.
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 self-serve and consider legal help.
What’s included
- A guided Power of Attorney workflow for an aging parent
- Plain-English intake that helps you choose between general and special POA
- A signing checklist and a separate notarization option when available
A clear output guarantee: If the generated document contains a covered drafting error, we stand behind it with readable terms.
Read guarantee termsWhen self-serve may not fit
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 self-serve and consider legal help. A licensed attorney may be better suited than a document template in those situations.
