power of attorney forms can be bought at most stationary stores, it will cost you about $2.00, fill it out and have a notary public put thier stamp on it, they usually charge about $2.00 as well. that it, its just that simple, but be wise in the wording, i suggest a limited power of attorney for a specific issue and time period

There are several computer programs that have simple "do it yourself" Power of Attorney forms. I have used Quicken Family Lawyer. It uses a simple interview process by asking your name, address and so on. There are several types of Power of Attorney's for different circumstances. This program will guide you through them. If you were to purchase the program this morning you could have the documents done by lunch. However, you will need to have the Power of Attorney signed in front of a notary and notarized. They can do this at your bank and they usually don't charge. Just have your ID with you.
You can also buy at Office Max or Office Depot fill in the blank Power of Attorney forms but I would recommend the Quicken Lawyer program instead.
PS: The program also has other legal documents for other things like Requests for your Credit Report and Dispute forms, Simple Wills, Bills of Sale, Leases and Contracts.

Most of the other answer are correct, you either need to go to an attorney and have them draw one up or get a standard one from one of the many companies that produce them.
Also, if it is for medical purposes, you can get one from a hospital for free. When I went in for an operation we were given one in a pamphlet to give POA to my wife in the even something went wrong.

Any lawyer can draft a power of attorney and do the signature guarantee for you. It takes about five minutes. I don't know about cost, I had a lawyer freind do it for free - so it can't be much.

Most states you go to an atty, have a POA drawn up (Specific or general) have it notarized and usually recorded.
Shouldn't take long; will cost atty fee and a recording fee for your county
REPEAT: CHECK with your county; most states require an ATTY to draw them up; if you take in a DIY POA they can't record it and it's not valid

Call your local county clerk's office.
A power of atty that is notarized is not recognized in most places. It has to be registered in the county.
