If you are in the state of Texas and need to notarize a Power Of Attorney (POA), there are a few things you need to know. In this blog post, we will discuss the requirements for notarizing a power of attorney in Texas. We will also talk about what the document does and who needs to be present when it is notarized.

Documents and Individuals Needed

In order to notarize a power of attorney in Texas, you must have the following:

The Power Of Attorney Documents
The person who is signing the power of attorney (the "principal")
A Notary Public

The Principal

The principal is the person who signs the POA to allow another person(known as the attorney-in-fact) to have certain powers to act on behalf of the principal.

The principal must express willingness, be mentally alert, and indicate an understanding of the document.

Notary Public

The power of attorney form must be signed by the principal in front of the notary public. The notary public will then sign and stamp the document.

We hope this blog post has been helpful in understanding the process of notarizing a power of attorney in Texas.
