Frequently Asked Questions
What is required to notarize a Power of Attorney?
The Principal (the signer) must be physically present, have a valid government-issued photo ID, and be alert and aware enough to understand the document they are signing.
Can the notary help me understand or draft the POA?
No. Under North Carolina law, Notaries Public are legally prohibited from drafting legal documents or providing advice. Please have an attorney or legal service prepare the documents before our arrival.
Do I need to provide my own witnesses?
Yes. Most Healthcare Powers of Attorney and many general POAs in North Carolina require two impartial witnesses who are not named in the document or related to the signer. Please confirm witness requirements with your attorney.
What if the signer is in a hospital or ICU?
We specialize in hospital visits for Power of Attorney signings. As long as the signer is conscious, understands what they are signing, and is willing to do so, we can proceed. If they are sedated or incapacitated, we legally cannot notarize.
Signer Awareness & ID
By law, the notary must independently verify that the signer is aware of what they are signing and doing so willingly. A valid government-issued photo ID is required for every notarization.
