Power of attorney
A Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that allows one person (the principal) to give another person (the agent or attorney-in-fact) authority to act on their behalf.
The agent can make decisions, sign documents, or handle specific tasks depending on the powers granted in the document.
Common Types of Power of Attorney
Financial Power of Attorney
Allows someone to handle financial matters such as:
- Banking transactions
- Paying bills
- Managing investments
- Real estate transactions
- Filing taxes
- Managing business affairs
Medical Power of Attorney
Allows someone to make healthcare decisions if the principal becomes unable to communicate or make decisions themselves.
This may include:
- Medical treatment decisions
- Hospital admissions
- Surgery approvals
- End-of-life decisions
Durable Power of Attorney
Remains effective even if the principal becomes incapacitated.
This is one of the most common estate planning documents.
Limited Power of Attorney
Grants authority for a specific task or limited period.
Examples:
- Signing closing documents for a home sale
- Handling a vehicle title transfer
- Managing a specific financial transaction
General Power of Attorney
Provides broad authority over financial and legal matters but typically ends if the principal becomes incapacitated.
Why People Create a Power of Attorney
People often establish a POA to:
- Plan for emergencies
- Prepare for illness or incapacity
- Assist aging parents
- Handle real estate transactions remotely
- Manage military deployments
- Ensure someone can act on their behalf when they are unavailable
Does a Power of Attorney Need to Be Notarized?
Requirements vary by state and by the type of POA.
Many financial institutions, title companies, and government agencies require notarization before accepting a Power of Attorney.
Some states also require witnesses.
Because rules vary by state, the signer should verify the specific requirements for the POA they are signing.
Can a Power of Attorney Be Notarized Online?
In many situations, yes.
Remote Online Notarization (RON) is commonly used for:
- Durable Powers of Attorney
- Financial Powers of Attorney
- Medical Powers of Attorney
- Limited Powers of Attorney
- Real Estate Powers of Attorney
The signer must complete identity verification and meet with the online notary through a secure video session.
