Signing Requirements

A power of attorney must be signed by the principal and should be notarized.[1] However, the document must be notarized if:

  • The principal signs using a mark or has someone sign on their behalf.
  • The agent intends to execute any real estate document that requires recording (e.g., mortgage, deed).[2]
