Affidavit of Attorney-in-Fact - California
For agents signing at a closing or bank under a power of attorney.
Power of Attorney
Secure notarization for your most important authorizations.
A Power of Attorney (POA) authorizes someone else (your agent) to act on your behalf. We arrange an in-person visit through a local notary, with availability and timing confirmed for your location.
Why Proper Notarization Matters
A Power of Attorney can grant significant authority to make financial, medical or other decisions. Signing, witness and notarization requirements vary by state and document. Ask your attorney or the receiving institution which requirements apply; we cannot provide legal advice or prepare the document.
Types of POA We Notarize
- General Power of Attorney: Broad powers for financial and legal affairs.
- Durable Power of Attorney: Remains in effect even if you become incapacitated.
- Special/Limited Power of Attorney: Authority for specific, limited tasks (like selling a home).
- Medical/Healthcare Power of Attorney: Authority to make healthcare decisions on your behalf.
