Signing Requirements
It is recommended that the principal signs a power of attorney in the presence of a notary public, but this is not technically a legal requirement in order for the form to be valid.[1]
An Ohio general power of attorney is used to authorize an individual to act as a financial representative for the person executing the document, known as the principal. This representative, or “attorney-in-fact,” has the power to act on the principal’s behalf in matters such as banking, real estate, taxes, trusts, investments, and general financial affairs.
