“I need to make a Power of Attorney.” Can you help me find the right form? 

Librarians aren’t lawyers, but we can definitely solve this reference question. Enter: Gale Legal Forms.  

Gale offers a library of searchable documents that are specific to Pennsylvania. They have everything from Adoption to Powers of Attorney to Workers Compensation.  

Say your patron is looking for a Durable Power of Attorney; Gale Legal Forms will give you not just the general form, but forms related to your inquiry. Once the patron has found the specific document that they need, they can download it as a Word document and edit it as needed.  There’s no paywall, distracting ads, or guesswork involved. The site also includes a link to legal definitions, helpful topics, sample legal letters, and legal Q&A.
