POA's and Closings

How do you handle the documents that require an oath? The "attorney in fact" can't take the oath for the principal (he/she can only sign on thier behalf) so how do you handle the docs that require a jurat when there is a POA involved?
Did a search and didn't find anything... I'd appreciate any input on this one...

***Sidenote
I was at a signing a couple of weeks ago at a title company and the notary didn't administer an oath at all.... I kept waiting thinking she would do it at the end of the signing but she never did... Is this common?

Since you can't take an oath for another person, the jurat must either be changed to an ack or left unsigned by the absent brw. If there are 2 brw's the non-POA can sign it, just cannot POA it for the absent signer.
This is dependent on the lender/TC requirements and you must ask them how to handle that, or quite honestly, they will advise you upfront about it being a POA and how they want you to handle it.
my experience only...
