A properly prepared Power of Attorney instrument would include the proper notarial certificate. (Usually an acknowledgment by the Principal.)
If it is just a "note", which I interpret to mean something someone simply wrote up themselves, they need to either include the appropriate notarial certificate or **tell you** which one to use. You can explain the purpose and design of an acknowledgment and a jurat and let the document custodian (presumably the Principal, if it is a POA) decide which certificate is to be used. For you to decide may be construed as UPL.
