There is no law preventing a power of attorney from charging a fee. However, the power of attorney must EXPLICITLY state the terms of the fee. If the POA does not explicitly state it, consider amending the POA to reflect it. Have an attorney help you.

Best of luck.******The above is for informational purposes only and does not create an attorney-client privilege.******
