Varies from state to state and by the number of pages in some states; call the local clerk's office or check the county website.
edit; YOU CAN'T GET A POA FROM A DEAD PERSON. YOU NEED TO CONTACT THE PROBATE COURT IN THE COUNTY THEY DIED IN TO HAVE AN ADMINISTRATOR APPOINTED FOR AN INTESTATE ESTATE IF THEY DID NOT LEAVE A WILL>

Your question does not make sense. A power of attorney is a document that you fill out, sign, and give to the agent so that he or she can satisfy other people of his or her authority to act on your behalf. If the power is being used as part of a real estate deal, it has to be notarized (costing about a buck) and filed with the deed (adding a nominal amount to the closing costs, rarely more than $50). But the power of attorney is yours for the cost of a sheet of paper and some ink.

Depends on what you are really asking--there are different kinds.
General POA--get a form from office supply store & fill in the blanks. Cost of form & notary.
Durable POA--Still get a form.
For life and feeding decisions. Get them free at the local hospital business office.
Guardianship. File a suit. Whatever the local filing fees are.
There are other types.

Nothing. You can write one out on a piece of notepaper.
Want to make it 'pretty'? Download one for free from all over the internet.
Under 'some' circumstances the person that the holder of the POA is asking to accept it might ask for it to be notarized. My local notary charges $10 for that. (I'd like to see where the first poster gets things notarized for a buck! )
