I've glanced over the requirements for a PoA in my state, Vermont. It's a maze. The requirements about how the PoA should be witnessed and notarized, and who the attorney-in-fact can be, depend on what the PoA is for and how long it lasts. I would never suggest that anyone download a PoA from the internet. If the Vermont Legislature were stupid enough to pass a law saying non-attorney notaries were allowed to suggest that people who contact them should look on the internet for a suitable form, I still wouldn't do it. |
