Power of Attorney Package
$249 Flat Fee - 48 to 72-Hour Turnaround
Florida Durable POA, Healthcare Surrogate, Living Will, and HIPAA Release. Statutory-compliant. Drafted by a licensed Florida attorney.
Get StartedWhat You Get
Most Floridians do not realize that a will alone is not enough. A will controls what happens after you die. It does nothing for the months or years before death when you may be incapacitated and unable to handle your own finances or medical decisions. Without proper incapacity documents, your family faces a Florida guardianship proceeding - a public, court-supervised process that can take months and cost thousands of dollars.
Our flat-fee Power of Attorney Package solves that problem. For $249, you receive a complete set of Florida-compliant incapacity documents drafted by a licensed Florida attorney. Together, these documents tell your family, your doctors, and your bank exactly who is authorized to act for you and what your wishes are.
- Florida Durable Power of Attorney compliant with Fla. Stat. §709.2201
- Statutory powers: banking, real property, business, and digital assets
- Designation of Healthcare Surrogate under Fla. Stat. Ch. 765
- Living Will / Advance Directive for end-of-life decisions
- HIPAA Release authorizing your agent to access medical records
- Successor agents and execution instructions for Florida statutory compliance

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the Florida Power of Attorney Package?
The package includes four documents: (1) a Durable Power of Attorney under Fla. Stat. §709.2201 with full statutory financial powers; (2) a Designation of Healthcare Surrogate under Fla. Stat. Ch. 765; (3) a Living Will / Advance Directive setting your end-of-life preferences; and (4) a HIPAA Release authorizing your agent to access medical records. You receive each document in Word and PDF, plus execution instructions for Florida statutory compliance.
What is the difference between a Durable POA and a Healthcare Surrogate?
A Durable Power of Attorney appoints an agent to act on your financial and legal matters. A Designation of Healthcare Surrogate appoints a person to make medical decisions for you when you cannot. Florida law treats these as separate documents because the powers, statutes, and standards differ. Most Floridians need both.
What does 'durable' mean in a Florida POA?
A Durable Power of Attorney remains effective even if you become incapacitated. Under Fla. Stat. §709.2104, the document must include language that survives the principal's incapacity. A non-durable POA terminates on incapacity, which defeats the purpose for most estate planning. Every POA we draft is durable unless you specifically request otherwise.
Is a Florida POA effective immediately, or does it 'spring' into effect on incapacity?
Florida no longer recognizes new 'springing' powers of attorney for documents executed after October 1, 2011, except in narrow circumstances. Fla. Stat. §709.2108 generally requires that a POA be effective when signed. We draft your document to be immediately effective and counsel you on how to control when your agent actually uses it (for example, by holding the original document until needed).
How are these documents executed in Florida?
A Durable POA must be signed by the principal, two witnesses, and a notary under Fla. Stat. §709.2105. A Healthcare Surrogate must be signed by the principal and two adult witnesses, one of whom is not a spouse or blood relative, under Fla. Stat. §765.202. A Living Will follows similar witness rules under Fla. Stat. §765.302. We provide a complete execution checklist with every package.
I already have a will. Do I still need these?
Yes. A will only takes effect at death. A Power of Attorney, Healthcare Surrogate, and Living Will operate during your lifetime - especially during incapacity. Without these documents, your family may need to seek a court-appointed guardianship under Fla. Stat. Ch. 744, which is expensive, public, and slow.
