Legal Question in Elder Law in Illinois

Power of Attorney Forms

I would like to know if the Medical and the General power of attorney forms that are online legal? My mother goes in and out of the hospital from time to time,and she needs me to handle certain financial matters of hers,and i'm wondering if i could use the legal forms that are online and have them notarized by her,and will the General power of attorney be honored at her bank or other facilities?...also,will the hospital honor the Medical Power of attorney after both are notarized?

Thank You!

Re: Power of Attorney Forms

It's hard to say what you mean by "online" forms...anything can be online. I think the main point is that a competent elder law attorney does POAs for not too much money...a couple hundred dollars maybe. Why not do it correctly? Or there are some seniors groups that have lawyers come in to do some cut rate legal work.
