... I also have said this same thing in the past, that an attorney-in-fact cannot take an oath for the principal, but does someone have a reference somewhere for this?
I looked in the California Notary Handbook & could not find anything on this subject but, the example on pg 15 of a Power of Attorney has the wording giving the " attorney-in-fact (the power to act) on all matters pertaining to the handling of my estate, finances, and investments." The phrase ' All Matters' sounds like the signer is giving the principal the authority to take an oath, as well as sign, on his behalf.
It would be nice if there was some code or article or reference that could be referred to when the SS, TC, Lender, ect. dispute this sort of thing with the Notary.
