Do I need a notary for a POA?

Most states require notarization for durable POAs (the ones that survive incapacity). Some accept witnesses instead. Check your state's POA statute or consult a local attorney. AttachKit fills the form; you handle notarization.

Is a typed e-signature valid for a POA?

Increasingly yes per state-specific RULPOA/RULA updates and remote-online-notarization (RON) statutes. As of 2024, ~40 states permit RON. For high-stakes POAs (real estate, large financial), use a notary.

Where do I get a state-specific POA template?

Your state's Department of Aging, state bar website, or attorney. Many states publish standard statutory POA forms (e.g., California Probate Code §4401). Drop the blank into AttachKit.
