BASIC TYPES OF POWER OF ATTORNEY – Our Service Fee $120

  • General Financial Power of Attorney: permits the agent to transact any or all business other than health care for the principal
  • Durable Financial Power of Attorney: remains active if the principal becomes incapacitated.
  • Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care, sometimes called Health Care Power of Attorney, which California combines with a living will to create an Advance Health Care Directive (see our “Living Wills & Medical Directives” Resource Guide.)
  • Limited (or Special) Power of Attorney: used for childcare, for example, allowing the agent to make decisions in place of the parents about school or health care for the children. Incarcerated persons may need one or more PoAs for this and other specific tasks of limited duration.
  • Military Power of Attorney: Federal law makes special provisions for the drafting of powers of attorney for Military personnel, who should contact their Armed Services Legal Assistance Office to ask about help (see “Websites” below).
  • Financial Institution Power of Attorney: some banks and other financial institutions (such as CalPERS and the IRS) require that you use their own forms.
