What is safest way to sign as POA for my Mother?

My husband carries a copy of his Guardian order with him and ALWAYS signs his full name, "Guardian/POA" and dates the signature. Even if they say " oh you don't have to" do it every single time.

I used to sign: "Garden Artist, pursuant to DPOA dated (insert date) for (insert name)."

Thanks, MaggieMarshall. That sounds about right based on my recollection but your suggestion that I run it by our attorney is certainly a good one. Everyone on this site seems to have experienced all of the challenges in one way or another that we are all going through....I find a great deal of solace in being able to not just use the forum to bounce questions off but also to share, and vent when need be!

Well, banks especially have particular ways they want POAs to sign things. Other institutions not so much. I always signed mom's name and beneath it wrote as follows: By Maggie Marshall, POA. If I were signing financial responsibilities, that is ABSOLUTELY how I'd sign it.

Other states may be different. You may want to make a quick call to your attorney.
