I have recently been named durable power of attorney for two clients. I am not an attorney. How do I charge for this responsibility?

Where? You say "clients." What is your relationship to these people?

The POA is the document. You would be an "attorney in fact".

You charge according to the statute or other law in your state or other jurisdiction (if not in the U.S.), if the POA doesn't mention compensation.

Yes who are they, what is your relationship and what duties will you do?

I was POA for my mother before her death, I paid her bills and so on, and charged no fees.
I have someone who is POA over a business venture in another state for me, he charges a small amount for the service to sign papers on my behalf when needed.

I am self-employed. I am not an attorney. I have been asked by two clients to act as a durable POA for them.

Where do I obtain this information?

You look up the law/statute for your State - use the Google feature OR post your State and somebody will probably look it up for you.
