as to whether or not to whether or not you can do this in VA and, if so, the proper procedure
I've done one in 12 years here as it's specifically allowed under our Florida laws - the signer verbally instructed me to sign on his behalf - there were two independent witnesses there; our law states as follows:
"The notary writes below the signature the following statement: “Signature affixed by notary, pursuant to s. 117.05(14), Florida Statutes,” and states the circumstances of the signing in the notarial certificate."
Check your handbook or with your SOS - don't check with title (if a title company is even involved and this isn't a GNW appointment_ - they'll tell you anything to get the signing done
