A POA can be a dangerous instrument. As Sylvia said, I would suggest that your friend seek expert help in the proper preparation of a Power of Attorney. If you are certifying a COPY of a POA, then you would use the "Certification" as explained in your handbook. Otherwise, YOU MUST BE DIRECTED on what type of notarial certificate (acknowledgment or jurat) to be used on the document. YOU CANNOT DECIDE.
Further, if the document is going out of the county, it may need a apostille as well. The document custodian would have to make that determination, then follow your state guidelines for the apostille process. |
