Which Power of Attorney Do You Need?
A Power of Attorney lets someone you trust step in and make decisions for you when you can’t. The right one depends on what you’re trying to cover. Here’s a quick look at each option.
General Durable Power of Attorney
$ 150
Covers your financial and legal decisions, like banking, bills, property, and contracts, if you’re unavailable or unable to handle them yourself.
Health Care Power of Attorney
$ 200
Names someone to make medical decisions on your behalf and spells out your wishes for care, so your family isn’t left guessing.
Both (General Durable + Health Care)
$ 300
Covers financial and medical decisions together, in one set of documents. The most complete option, for people who want both handled at once.
Young Adult Decision-Making Document
$ 150
Turning 18 doesn’t just mean a new driver’s license. It also means your parents lose the automatic legal right to make decisions for you. This document keeps them in the loop if you can’t act for yourself.

Not ready to choose yet? That is fine. Our Powers of Attorney in Indiana page explains what each document actually does and what Indiana requires for one to hold up. It also has two free guides, including a checklist of what a well drafted Power of Attorney looks like.
This article is general information, not legal advice. Reading it does not create an attorney-client relationship, and every situation has details that change the answer. For advice about your own situation, talk with a licensed Indiana attorney.
