What Type Of Power of Attorney Can You Notarize?

In general, any Power of Attorney (POA) can be notarized and the process is the same regardless of the type, and notarization ensures the document is legally binding.

A Power of Attorney (POA) is a simple document that grants specific powers to someone you trust - call an "agent" or "attorney-in-fact" - to handle certain matters on your behalf. Anyone who is 18 or over and of sound mind may grant an agent power of attorney.

There are several different types of POA in Teas, here are 5 types of Power of Attorney and how to use them. 

1. Durable Power of Attorney: A durable power of attorney, also referred to as statutory power of attorney, is so named because it allows an agent to act on your behalf even after you have become incapacitated. An agent with a durable power of attorney can make decisions about:

   • Your medical care

   • Your finances

   • Legal matters that concern you

   People often use a durable power of attorney in estate planning, especially when the principal is elderly. An elderly woman diagnosed with a progressive neurological disease, for example, might grant her daughter a durable power of attorney to ensure the continuity of her assets.

2. Springing Power of Attorney: A springing power of attorney authorizes an agent to act on behalf of the principal at a later date and is usually triggered by a certain event. For example, a principal might grant a power of attorney that only takes effect if he or she becomes incapacitated. A common approach is to include a provision in the power of attorney document stating that if at least two physicians confirm the principal is no longer able to manage his or her finances, the agent’s power of attorney will be activated.

3. General Power of Attorney: A general power of attorney authorizes an agent to perform a wide range of tasks on behalf of the principal. However, unlike a durable power of attorney, a general POA ends if the principal becomes incapacitated. Possible uses of a general power of attorney include elderly individuals who want to ease the burden of managing their estates or principals who need someone to manage their affairs overseas. A general power of attorney is also useful for those who want the convenience of having someone else manage their estates for them.

4. Limited Power of Attorney: Unlike a general POA, a limited power of attorney grants an agent authorization to act on the principal’s behalf only for a specific task, set of duties, or a certain time frame. It is used when the principal wants to continue managing his or her own affairs but needs assistance with completing certain tasks. For example, someone who owns property abroad and wants to sell it may give limited power of attorney to an agent who can do so in his or her place.

5. Medical Power of Attorney: A medical power of attorney allows someone to make medical decisions on the principal's behalf and usually takes effect if the principal becomes incapacitated. It authorizes an agent to speak with physicians and medical staff, approve or deny medications and tests, and take other important actions.
