Is it prepared and signed by a NOTARY PUBLIC or an ATTORNEY/LAWYER? Can you tell me how much is the average charge for this doc? I just need a simple POWER of ATTORNEY authorizing my friend to get the money in my behalf - abroad. Pls advise, I am in San Francisco, California.

Forms are available on line or in stores like Staples, also as part of software packages like Quicken.
A lawyer can prepare one. If the lawyer is or has a notary, the complete document can be had from his or her office.
You want a limited power of attorney: be sure to specify exactly what the person is authorized to do on your behalf. You should also put a time limit in it so it ends at some definite future date.
If this is part of a scam, don't do it.
If it involves a foreign country, the power of attorney may need a postille, a special endorsement from a state-designated person that the document is valid.

When my husband has gone overseas or out of state for some time, he would just make up his own document stating power of attorney for things that I could sign for him in his behalf, etc. Then he would just take it to a notary to have it signed. If you do it this way the only cost to you would be to the notary. Amount charged will vary depending on the notary. Sometimes they can even be free of charge, but I don't think we ever paid more than $10.

You may draw up your own power of attorney and have a notary sign it. Your bank will use notarize it for free.
Here is a site with a free one.

I got my forms online, I put "power of attorney" and whatever type you're looking for (mine was real estate)--some of the sites offer for free, some you pay for. I think the most expensive was 19.95--again, mine was free-just look a little.
Then you just either download or print and fill in the blanks.
And I had to have mine notarized. Make sure your friend has a copy or 2, in case some get lost.

yes. you need a notary public to witness the signing in most cases.

You may draw up your own power of attorney, and then have your signature notarized.
