Virginia General Power of Attorney Form
Last updated May 13th, 2025
A Virginia general power of attorney is a legal document that appoints a representative to make decisions for another person with regard to their finances and real estate interests. This type of arrangement differs from a durable power of attorney in that it will terminate in the event of the principal’s incapacitation.
Signing Requirements
Powers of attorney executed in Virginia should be acknowledged by a notary public.[1]
In order for a POA to be entered into the official records of a county or city, the principal’s signature must be properly acknowledged or witnessed by two individuals.[2]
