A Power of Attorney (POA) is one of the most important documents you can have—not just for aging individuals but for anyone who wants to ensure their affairs are managed in their absence.
In Florida, notarizing your POA adds a layer of legal protection and ensures the document is accepted by financial institutions, healthcare providers, and government agencies.
What Is a Power of Attorney?
A POA grants another person (your agent) the authority to make legal, medical, or financial decisions on your behalf. It can be specific (limited) or broad (durable).
Why Notarization Is Necessary
While Florida law doesn’t always require a POA to be notarized, most banks and institutions do. Notarizing your POA:
– Verifies the identity of the signer
– Reduces fraud risk
– Strengthens the document’s legal standing
– Prevents challenges from third parties
Types of POA We Commonly Notarize:
– Durable POA for financial management
– Medical POA for healthcare decisions
– Limited POA for specific tasks (e.g., real estate or auto transactions)
