Very easy to create and obtain wills…
Very easy to create and obtain wills and power of attorney that my husband and I needed. The cost was also very reasonable. I also like that I am able to go in and make changes to my documents whenever I want.
When You Need it Done Rights, Go to the Pros!
I had a lot of moving parts in this P.O.A., helping a friend, changing e-mail addresses, phone numbers, etc., and I needed it expedited right away. I spoke to several of your highly skilled staff, and they all came through for this wonderful lady who needed everybody on board, A.K.A. All hands on deck! I want to thank each and every one of you involved. We got it done under the wire, and now she will be able to look after her family properly, as she has always done, but now legally without repercussions or reprisals! ¡Mucho Grassy Ass! William
Fast and easy to use
Fast and easy to use. I had The Power of Attorney paperwork notarized at a bank and they told me this was the most up to date paperwork that they have seen for POA.
I set up my Trust
I set up my Trust, Will, Health Directive, and Power of Attorney all at the same time with their estate plan. Incredibly easy. Of course I had to dig out all the info, but the input was simple and straightforward, and the free consults were priceless. Had I used an attorney alone, it would easily have cost me 3k+. Thanks Legal Zoom!
User-Friendly Will & Estate Plan Process
The process to create a personal Will & Estate Plan, including a power of attorney and advanced medical directive was very user friendly and fast. The signing directions and explanatory documentation was also very helpful. The cost was reasonable and the on-line assistance chat feature allowed for quick resolution of a special request.
Jona was amazing
Jona was amazing! I chatted to find the best way to become power of attorney for my parents and she went above and beyond to help me complete the process. She emailed me her information and was soooo helpful. Above and beyond what I expected but much appreciated.
Incredible Service
I called to ask about cost estimates for Power of Attorney. Sarah McLain was extremely helpful and considerate. She patiently explained the LegalZoom offerings, helped me re-establish my old account, and provided me with the exactly the forms I needed to fill out. She has a wonderful no-pressure disposition and made me feel she truly cared about my situation. Excellent, exceptional person.
Rey was very helpful
Rey was very helpful as I went through the questions to create a power of attorney for my elderly father.
Living Will and Durable POA changes
I need to change the name of the primary contact for both my living will and durable power of attorney. Your representative walked me through the online process in about five minutes.
Tammy is my “go to” contact with all…
Tammy is my “go to” contact with all things Legalzoom. Navigating power of attorney and living trusts for elderly parents is not easy, especially when decisions are now mine. She is so knowledgeable and caring every time I call, and never rushes me when I have questions. I will always use Legalzoom! Thank you again.
Impeccable customer service and great value!
I initially purchased the legal zoom documents for just the basic will and power of attorney at what I thought to be a very fair price although I now do not remember the amount. I called customer service to ask how to make changes. After resetting my forgotten password, I was offered free updates where I completely changed my will and power of attorney and was given several other documents that I hadn't even requested. ALL AT NO CHARGE! I was totally blown away! I did pay $9.99 for an ID card that contained my request not to extend life support under my individual directives, organ-donor, etc. Anyway, how could I not recommend legal zoom? I had called customer support twice with questions.......immediately answered my call and stayed on line until all questions resolved.

Feel secure knowing that not only have we helped with estate plans for 25+ years, but all our financial powers of attorney were created by attorneys.
What is a financial power of attorney?
A financial power of attorney, sometimes called a power of attorney for finances, allows you to appoint a designated attorney-in-fact to transact personal business on your behalf.
Often, a durable financial power of attorney agreement is part of a larger estate plan as just one of a number of estate planning documents.
What does power of attorney give you authority over?
Financial power of attorney agreements grant someone the authority to make decisions around your finances and real estate when you're unable.
What's an attorney-in-fact?
An attorney-in-fact, or “agent,” is a person who has been given authority to act on someone's behalf by a financial power of attorney document. They don't have to be a licensed attorney, but they do have to be over age 18.
What does durable mean on a POA?
A durable POA continues even after someone can no longer make their own decisions, such as if they fall into a coma. A non-durable POA ends when the principal is incapacitated—for example, if the principal falls into a coma, the non-durable POA would end.
Can I change a power of attorney after it has been signed, or notarized?
Yes. As long as you have the legal capacity to sign, you can amend a power of attorney, or revoke it and create a new one. Be sure to consult your state's rules for the signing requirements for an amendment or revocation. Our power of attorney packages include unlimited revisions for 30 days. If you’d like to revise after 30 days, you can purchase additional revisions or subscribe to our legal plan, which includes unlimited revisions for one year.
What are the limits of a power of attorney?
The power of attorney ends if the principal dies, whether the agreement is durable or not. Some power of attorneys are already limited by design. For example, a power of attorney may grant an attorney-in-fact the power to make real estate decisions, but not grant them financial powers. Those decisions are made by the principal when the form is created.
If I move to a new state, do I need a new power of attorney?
Most states recognize powers of attorney signed in other states. But it may be a good idea to get a new one when you move. Check with an attorney from our network to get advice on your specific situation.
