Frequently Asked Questions
What is a power of attorney form?
A power of attorney form is a legal document that lets you (the “principal”) authorize another person (your “agent”) to make financial, legal, or medical decisions on your behalf. In California, these forms must meet specific state requirements to be legally valid.
Where can I get a California power of attorney form?
You can have a California power of attorney form professionally prepared by a registered Legal Document Assistant (LDA), like our team at We The People Glendale, rather than drafting one yourself from a generic online template. This helps ensure your form meets California’s specific execution and notarization requirements.
Is a power of attorney form the same in every state?
No. Requirements vary by state — California has specific rules around witnesses, notarization, and the exact language required for a durable power of attorney to remain valid if you become incapacitated. A form designed for another state may not hold up in California.
Who can be my agent on a power of attorney form?
You can appoint any trusted adult — a spouse, adult child, relative, or close friend — as your agent, as long as they understand your wishes and are willing to act responsibly on your behalf.
Can I revoke or change my power of attorney form?
Yes. As long as you’re mentally competent, you can revoke or replace your power of attorney form at any time. We can help you prepare a revocation document or a new POA to reflect your updated wishes.
Do I need a lawyer to prepare a power of attorney form?
Not necessarily. A registered Legal Document Assistant (LDA) can prepare your power of attorney form according to your instructions and California legal requirements, typically at a lower cost than hiring an attorney.
How much does it cost to prepare a California power of attorney form?
Preparation starts at $149. The exact cost depends on the type of power of attorney form you need (durable, medical, limited, or financial) and whether notarization is included.
