It depends on the state where you live. In Texas, for example, a medical power of attorney needs either (1) the signature of two persons who witness the subject's signature, OR (2) it needs to be notarized by a Notary Public who witnessed the subject signing the medical power of attorney. It does not need BOTH the witness signatures AND the notarization. But in almost all cases, it is a good idea to get the document notarized even if you have two witnesses. It reduces the possibility that it will be challenged.
In the state of Florida both durable and non-durable power of attorney needs to be notarized. This does in fact include the medical power of attorney.
Yes, all power of attorney forms need to be notarized.
does a Songwriter contract with a Power Of Attorney clause need to be notarized? if it is not notarized does that make the entire contract invalid? Thank You, Ray Rector
http://www.ftb.ca.gov/law/Poa/index.shtml#Q4 No. It does not need to be notarized.
state law declares that the document is presumed to be genuine if it is notarized.
Yes. The principal's signature must be witnessed and notarized for a valid Power of Attorney. See link below for more information about POA in Illinois.
Yes. You should be sure to have a general power of attorney and/or medical power of attorney.
Yes, all power of attorney forms must be witnessed by a notary to be official.
No. There are no checkpoints as there are between countries so there is no way for the government to regulate that. It is perfectly legal for grandparents to travel in the US with their grandchildren without any documentation. Really no one need any documentation to travel with anyone inside the country. If you want to go to Canada, a notiraized letter that has the signatures of both parents is required.
It depends upon the probate laws in the state where the POA is going to be used. Contacting the clerk of the probate court in the city or county of residence will obtain the needed information.
I guess this could vary by state, but everywhere I know of the answer is no, Medical Power of Attorney documents do not need to be filed with doctors.
You need to consult with an attorney. A medical power of attorney generally gives the authority to make medical decisions in acute medical situations when the patient is not capable of making those decisions. Especially end of life decisions. You may need a legal guardianship to take the type of action you suggest in your question.You need to consult with an attorney.
