What does a power of attorney cost online?

One document, one price. LegalZoom's Basic Power of Attorney at $39 includes a 'Financial power of attorney', 'Online questions to guide you through the process', 'Unlimited document revisions for 30 days' and 'Secure online document storage'; Premium at $49 adds 'Unlimited 30 min attorney consultations for 14 days', which 'renews at $25/month'. The document is 'typically ... available for download within two to three business days'¹.

Durable, ordinary, springing. LawDepot's table: a durable power 'Remains valid even if the principal becomes incapacitated'; an ordinary one 'Ends when the principal becomes incapacitated, revokes it, or passes away'; a springing one 'Takes effect only after a triggering event (such as a future date or incapacity)'. Each can grant general powers or 'a specific task or transaction (e.g., selling property)'². LegalContracts frames the same choice as a start 'Immediately', 'On Incapacity' or 'On a specific date', and a durable power that 'Remains in place until you die'⁴.

Not medical. LawDepot: 'It's important to note that a POA doesn't include medical decisions. If you want to give someone authority to make medical decisions, use LawDepot's Medical Power of Attorney'². The bundles cover that separately: EZ Will and Trust's 'Advance Healthcare Directive with HIPAA'⁹, Trust & Will's 'Advance Healthcare Directive'⁸, WillMaker's 'Healthcare Care Directive'¹⁰.

Subscriptions. LawDepot's trial 'renews at $49 per month' unless cancelled; its 'Essentials Access' for estate planning documents is '$35/month or $107.88/year'³. LegalContracts' trial 'renews at $33 per month'⁴. Rocket Lawyer bills $149, $249 or $349 a year after a 7-day trial, or $34.99, $49.99 or $64.99 monthly, with 'Unlimited documents & e-signatures' in every tier⁵. US Legal Forms' annual-billed plans are $8 and $15 a month; its FAQ suggests buying a plan and cancelling in My Account if you need one form⁶.

Three one-time will packages already contain a financial power of attorney and a health care directive: EZ Will and Trust's Will Package at $149 ('Last Will & Testament, Durable Financial Power of Attorney, Advance Healthcare Directive with HIPAA')⁹, WillMaker's Plus Plan at $149 (Starter at $109 has no power of attorney)¹⁰, and Trust & Will's Will Plan at $199 ('Last Will & Testament, HIPAA Authorization, Advance Healthcare Directive, Power of Attorney')⁸.

Our arithmetic: LegalZoom's $39 Basic Power of Attorney plus its $129 Basic Will is $168 and still has no health care directive; its $149 Pro Will bundles the will, a healthcare directive, medical and financial powers of attorney and a HIPAA form with 30 days of attorney calls that renew at $25/month (see what a will costs).
