As I cringe at the cost of an attorney to write a will and/or POA, here's a suggestion that's the best of both worlds: do your research on wills and POAs (online and books in the library). Write your own or use an online service. Then pay for an estate attorney to review them to ensure the documents are correct and contain no pitfalls for your situation and estate.
That's what I did with my living trust. I researched, wrote my own, then had an estate attorney review it. He made one small recommendation, if I recall correctly, and the bill was reasonable.
