What you really need to do is to talk to an attorney who works with the elderly. A "free"
power of attorney
may or may not be wise...I frequently see clients who thought any lawyer could handle their elder law matter...only to find out later that the amount they saved in legal fees cost them a great deal down the road in missed planning opportunities. If your is truly a situation that is very simple then the advice given in the previous answers is fine. Good luck to you.
Try calling a state or county bar association for a referral to a low fee/no fee attorney.
I truly wish you the best.

This answer is offered for informational purposes only. It is not offered as, and does not constitute, legal advice. Laws vary widely from state to state. You should rely only on the advice given to you during a personal consultation by a local attorney who is thoroughly familiar with state laws and the area of practice in which your concern lies.
If the elder is low income, typically Law Schools will have a free clinic that will prepare basic estate planning documents for the client. Also, you can check with the local county bar association as they likely keep a pro bono referal list for low income / low asset individuals.
