Notarizing POA Help
Ugh, haven't done one of these in a while and now it seems I can't think. I did a refi where the daughter had power of attorney. How do I notarize the signature and what do I write in the blank area where it is asking for whose ID was presented and whose signature am I notarizing. I've looked in the orange button and not really found what I was looking for. Thanks for the help.

You can always call your hiring party w/questions. POA is usually John Doe by Jane Doe, attorney in fact. Initials are JD by JD, aif. Notary certificate is name of person who appeared before you.
I often write up a small "cheat sheet" to help the borrower. They often get confused with the language. LOL

In addition to what Marilynn said, if your state allows you to show represented capacity in your certificates, then you add that capacity in. Such as: " ... by Jane Doe, attorney-in-fact for John Doe ..." You should always show the name of the person who is physically present and signing, first, followed by the name of the name of person within the document (principal, grantor, etc.)

Many times the Closing Instructins within the lender docs will give the verbage to be used. If not, call the hiring entity and ask... sometimes they have their own way. Your own state manual should be of help as well.

Remember different States have different laws. The wording you use could depend on where the property is located. As if in PA one does not use “attorney in fact” one uses the term “Agent”
