Signing Requirements

Only the principal needs to sign a power of attorney.[1] To ensure the form will be accepted by all third-party institutions, it’s suggested that the document be notarized.

  • If the principal signs using a mark or directs someone else to sign the power of attorney on their behalf, then the document must be notarized.
  • When using a statutory short form power of attorney, the document must be signed by the attorney-in-fact and notarized.[2]
