The principal is required to sign the durable power of attorney.[1] Notarization is not technically required, but it is common practice and strongly recommended, as it proves the authenticity of the principal’s signature.
“Durable,” with respect to a power of attorney, means not terminated by the principal’s incapacity or unavailability.[2]
