The cost of creating a POA in Arizona typically ranges from $200 to $600. This depends on the complexity of the POA and whether you’re working with an attorney. For more complex or customized POAs, fees can rise to $3,000 or more. It all depends on your specific situation.
Yes, in Arizona, a power of attorney must generally be notarized to be legally valid. Notarization provides authentication of the signatures and means the document will be recognized by financial institutions and healthcare providers.
Additionally, having at least one witness — who is not the agent — may also be required.
A power of attorney cannot make decisions that go against the principal’s express wishes or involve actions that the principal themselves could not legally take.
For example, an agent cannot create or alter a will on behalf of the principal, nor can they vote in the elections for them. The agent is also prohibited from making personal decisions, such as getting married or divorced.
In Arizona, the principal can revoke a power of attorney at any time — as long as they are mentally competent. Additionally, a court can override or invalidate a POA if evidence shows that the agent is abusing their power or not acting in the best interests of the principal.
The duration of a power of attorney depends on whether it is durable or non-durable. A durable power of attorney remains in effect even if the principal becomes incapacitated, while a non-durable POA ends when the principal becomes incapacitated. All POAs end upon the death of the principal.
Your future deserves careful planning. A Power of Attorney is more than just a document — it’s a way to protect your desires and prevent unnecessary burdens from falling on your loved ones.
