The Power of Attorney Process
LegalZoom makes it fast and easy to create a Power of Attorney. Our team of specialists handles all the details from start to finish. The following is a detailed description of our Power of Attorney process.
  • Complete our easy online questionnaire.
  • We prepare your power of attorney within 2 business days.
    Our document specialists review your answers for completeness and common mistakes before preparing your custom power of attorney.
  • We send your power of attorney to you.
    Your customized document will be shipped according to your instructions.
  • Sign and notarize your document in the presence of 2 witnesses.
    Your witnesses should not be anyone you appointed as an attorney-in-fact or alternate (or their spouses or children), anyone related to you by blood, marriage or adoption, or anyone entitled to receive anything under any last will you have made. Your witnesses must also sign the Power of Attorney.
