RESPONSE: Dear Crystal,
Aside from the basic requirements, there are additional elements such as how the document is witnessed, signed or sealed depending on the location of the person giving the power of authority at the time its being signed or witnessed.
Please refer to information on this website for guidance in preparing the power of attorney instrument or contact us directly for assistance at a nominal fee.
