Having something notarized means only that the Notary has checked ID and that the signature of the person is the signature on the document. Nothing else. My advice for a good POA is see a lawyer. Much depends on this as different entities, banks, realtors want different things on a POA. BE SAFE as this cannot be redone when the person is incapable of making his or her own decisions.
I would use a lawyer. POA has to be assigned. The person assigning it needs to be confident to do so. Otherwise, guardianship has to be gotten and its expensive.
I read ur profile. Are u caring for a LO or u have clients. If ur talking about a client than you should not become their POA. Its a conflict of interest. If you are caring for LO then you should have POA.
Someone can create a PoA when they are of sound mind. They can designate any person, multiple persons (even a caregiver) or organization. In my state my mother's PoA documents had to be signed in front of the notary with 2 witnesses who were not family members, plus my mom (the creator) and the PoA (me). The creator and the PoA each have to have a signed, notarized original copy.
