For a Florida Power of Attorney, generally yes.
Florida law requires the principal to sign the Power of Attorney in the presence of two subscribing witnesses. The principal must also acknowledge the Power of Attorney before a Notary Public or as otherwise permitted by Florida law.
If your Power of Attorney was prepared or executed under the laws of another state, the signing requirements may be different. Florida law recognizes certain Powers of Attorney executed in another state when the document and its execution complied with the laws of that state at the time it was executed.
You should follow the signing instructions provided with your document or consult the attorney or organization that prepared it if you have questions about its execution requirements.
Important: Please do not sign your Power of Attorney before your notarization appointment unless you have been specifically instructed to do so.
If you need witnesses for your signing appointment, B. Elise Notary Services may be able to coordinate witnesses for an additional fee. Please request witness assistance in advance.
