You need to read your state handbook but for now. In CA, for a jurat the person must always be present to take the oath or affirmation and sign. This is true even if the other docs are being signed using a POA.
Additionally, the use of a proof of execution by Subscribing Witness "should only be used as a last resort and never merely because the principal signer prefers not to take the time to personally appear before a Notary."
Proofs of execution are not permitted with mortgages, deeds of trust, security agreements,quitclaim deeds, and grant deeds, but are allowed with trustee's deeds resulting from foreclosure and deeds of reconveyence. |
