Does a Power of Attorney Need to Be Notarized? The Rules by State

It depends on the state. Some require a notary, some accept witnesses instead, and some want both. Here are the rules for all fifty states and Washington, D.C., from each state's statutes and official forms.

By naveen · Updated October 13, 2026 · How we research our guides

It depends on the state where your parent signs it: some states require a notary, some accept two witnesses instead, some require both, and some require only your parent's signature. In Texas, a durable power of attorney must be acknowledged before a notary or similar officer. In Florida, it needs two witnesses and a notary. California accepts either a notary or two qualified witnesses. New York requires an acknowledgment and two witnesses, and the agent signs and acknowledges too. Each of the other forty-seven jurisdictions covered below has its own version. Health care documents follow separate rules.

What does each state require for a power of attorney?

Each state's statute sets its own rule; the table gives each one with the section it comes from.

A few details change the answer within a state:

• California's statutory form. Probate Code §4121 accepts a notary or two witnesses for a power of attorney in general, but the official Uniform Statutory Form is legally sufficient only when "the signature of the principal is acknowledged" (§4402). See the California power of attorney guide.
• Texas's acknowledgment. The officer must be authorized to take acknowledgments to deeds and to administer oaths, which a notary public is. See the Texas power of attorney guide.
• Florida's double requirement. Florida asks for witnesses and a notary, not one or the other. See the Florida power of attorney guide.
• New York's agent signature. The power of attorney takes effect for each agent on the date that agent's signature is acknowledged. See the New York power of attorney guide.
• Ohio's real estate rule. A power of attorney used to sign a deed, mortgage or lease must be acknowledged and recorded with the county recorder first (Revised Code 1337.04). See the Ohio power of attorney guide.
• Georgia's two attesters. The witness and the notary must be different people, and neither can be named as an agent. See the Georgia power of attorney guide.
• North Carolina's acknowledgment. A bank isn't required to accept a power of attorney that hasn't been duly acknowledged (G.S. 32C-1-120). See the North Carolina power of attorney guide.
• Illinois's excluded witnesses. Your parent's children and grandchildren, the agent, and the agent's parents, siblings and children can't serve as the witness or the notary. See the Illinois power of attorney guide.
• Michigan's durability rule. A signed power of attorney is valid, but it survives incapacity only if it's notarized or witnessed, and only a notarized one gets the bank-acceptance rules. See the Michigan power of attorney guide.
• Indiana's health care cutoff. A power of attorney signed after December 31, 2022 can't grant health care powers. See the Indiana power of attorney guide.
• Arizona's wording. To keep working if your parent becomes incapacitated, the document must contain durability wording, and the witness signs an affidavit before the notary. See the Arizona power of attorney guide.
• Washington's default. A Washington power of attorney ends on incapacity unless it contains durability wording. See the Washington power of attorney guide.
• Colorado's and Wisconsin's signature-only rule. Only your parent's signature is required, but only a notarized power of attorney gets the bank-acceptance rules. See the Colorado and Wisconsin guides.
• Connecticut's in-person notary. Connecticut bars online notarization of a power of attorney. See the Connecticut power of attorney guide.
• Pennsylvania's notice and acknowledgment. A signed notice must open the document, and the agent must sign an acknowledgment before acting. See the Pennsylvania power of attorney guide.
• Louisiana's mandate. A mandate needs no particular form, but it must take the form the law requires for the act it authorizes, so a mandate to make a gift must be an authentic act before a notary and two witnesses. See the Louisiana power of attorney guide.
• Massachusetts's and Oregon's writing. Neither state's power of attorney statute sets a notary or witness rule, but a power of attorney used for real estate must be acknowledged (or, in Oregon, proved) to be recorded. See the Massachusetts and Oregon guides.
• Kansas's and Missouri's durability test. A power of attorney is durable only if it's titled a durable power of attorney, includes the statute's durability statement, and is notarized. See the Kansas and Missouri guides.
• Oklahoma's and New Mexico's signature rule. Only your parent's signature is required, but notarizing gives the signature a presumption of genuineness. See the Oklahoma and New Mexico guides.
• Utah's notary. A Utah power of attorney must be signed before a notary, and the act lists no witnesses. See the Utah power of attorney guide.
• Notary-only states. New Jersey, Nebraska, Alaska, Maine, Iowa, South Dakota, West Virginia and D.C. require a notary acknowledgment and no witnesses; New Hampshire adds a signed disclosure statement and the agent's acknowledgment. See the New Jersey, Nebraska, Alaska, Maine, Iowa, South Dakota, West Virginia, D.C., New Hampshire guides.
• Witness states. South Carolina's must be witnessed like a will and notarized, Maryland's needs two adult witnesses and a notary who may be one of them, and Delaware's needs a notary and one adult witness who isn't a relative or heir. See the South Carolina, Maryland and Delaware guides.
• Signature-only states. Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Virginia, Montana, Hawaii, Idaho, Vermont and Wyoming require only your parent's signature, but a notarized signature is presumed genuine, and in each of them the bank-acceptance rules apply only to a notarized power of attorney. See the Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Virginia, Montana, Hawaii, Idaho, Vermont, Wyoming guides.
• Durability isn't automatic everywhere. In Minnesota, Mississippi, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota and Tennessee, a power of attorney lasts through incapacity only if it says so. See the Minnesota, Mississippi, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota and Tennessee guides.
• Nevada's form. Nevada's statute requires only a signature, but its statutory form says it isn't valid unless notarized. See the Nevada power of attorney guide.

Do health care documents need to be notarized?

Not in forty-eight of the fifty-one jurisdictions covered here: their statutes don't require a notary for a health care power of attorney, while North Carolina and West Virginia do and Missouri's must be notarized to stay durable. Health care documents have their own statutes, separate from the power of attorney rules:

The state guides spell out who can and can't serve as a witness in each state: California, Texas, Florida, New York, Ohio, Georgia, North Carolina, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Arizona, Washington, Colorado, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Oklahoma, Oregon, Kansas, Missouri, New Mexico, Utah, Alabama, Arkansas, New Jersey, Kentucky, Minnesota, Mississippi, South Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Montana, Hawaii, Nebraska, Alaska, Nevada, Tennessee, Delaware, Iowa, Rhode Island, Maine, South Dakota, D.C., New Hampshire, West Virginia, North Dakota, Vermont and Wyoming. Idaho lists witnesses only as an optional part of the document and bars no one from serving; see the Idaho advance directive guide.

Will a bank accept a power of attorney?

In thirty-three of the fifty-one jurisdictions, the statute sets a deadline in business days for a bank or other person asked to accept a power of attorney, unless a listed exception applies. The bullets below say which states limit that rule to a notarized power of attorney or a statutory form, and which protect only people who rely on one in good faith:

• Texas. A person asked to accept a durable power of attorney must accept it, or ask for a certification or legal opinion within 10 business days, unless a listed ground for refusal applies (Estates Code §751.201).
• Florida. A bank or broker-dealer is presumed to have four business days to accept or reject one for covered transactions, can't demand a different form for authority already granted, and must give its reasons in writing when it rejects one, unless it wouldn't otherwise have to deal with your parent (§709.2120).
• New York. No third party may refuse a properly executed statutory short form "without reasonable cause," and within ten business days it must honor it, reject it in writing with reasons, or ask for the agent's affidavit or another listed step (§5-1504).
• California. For the statutory form, a third person who unreasonably refuses can be compelled in court, and the agent awarded attorney's fees (Probate Code §4406).
• North Carolina. Within seven business days of being presented with an acknowledged power of attorney, a person must accept it, refuse it on a listed ground, or ask for a certification, translation or opinion of counsel (G.S. 32C-1-120).
• Georgia. The same seven-business-day rule applies to an attested statutory form power of attorney, and a wrongful refusal can bring a court order and attorney's fees (O.C.G.A. §10-6B-20).
• Illinois. Anyone who refuses an agent's direction "arbitrarily or without reasonable cause" faces civil liability for resulting damages (755 ILCS 45/2-8).
• Michigan. For a notarized power of attorney, a person must accept it or ask for more information within seven business days (MCL 556.220).
• Washington. The same seven-business-day rule applies to a notarized power of attorney (RCW 11.125.200).
• Indiana. A person who refuses one within three business days of receiving it, without one of the reasons the statute lists, can owe three times actual damages plus attorney's fees (IC 30-5-9-9).
• Colorado, Connecticut and Pennsylvania. Each sets the same seven-business-day deadline to accept or ask for more information, then five business days to accept (C.R.S. 15-14-720, C.G.S. 1-350s, 20 Pa.C.S. § 5608.1). Colorado and Connecticut apply it to notarized powers of attorney.
• Wisconsin. A person may refuse a notarized power of attorney in good faith within 10 business days only for listed reasons, and can't refuse based only on its date or on wanting a different form (Wis. Stat. 244.20).
• Oklahoma and Utah. For a notarized power of attorney, the same seven-business-day rule applies, then five business days to accept (58 O.S. § 3020, Utah Code 75A-2-120).
• New Mexico. The seven-business-day rule applies only to a notarized power of attorney on the statutory form, which includes a military power of attorney (NMSA 45-5B-120).
• Kansas. A third person must accept a notarized power of attorney unless a listed exception applies, though the statute sets no deadline in days (K.S.A. 58-658).
• Massachusetts. The agent can sue for damages if a third party unreasonably refuses to honor a valid durable power of attorney (M.G.L. c. 190B § 5-506).
• Virginia, Kentucky, Maine, Nebraska, Iowa, New Hampshire, Vermont, Idaho, Montana, Hawaii and D.C. For a notarized power of attorney, the same seven-business-day rule applies, then five business days to accept (Va. Code § 64.2-1618, KRS 457.200, 18-C M.R.S. § 5-920, Neb. Rev. Stat. 30-4020, Iowa Code 633B.120, RSA 564-E:120, 14 V.S.A. § 4020, Idaho Code 15-12-120, MCA 72-31-325, HRS 551E-16, D.C. Code § 21-2601.20).
• South Carolina. For a power of attorney signed, witnessed and acknowledged under 62-8-105, the same seven-business-day rule applies, then five business days to accept, but a person doesn't have to accept one that lacks the reliance clause the statute sets out (S.C. Code 62-8-120).
• Wyoming. Seven business days to accept or ask for a certification or translation, then five to accept (W.S. 3-9-120).
• Alabama. A bank must act on a notarized power of attorney "within a reasonable time," which can't be less than seven business days (Code of Ala. § 26-1A-119).
• Arkansas and West Virginia. The seven-business-day rule applies only to a notarized power of attorney on the statutory form (A.C.A. 28-68-120, W. Va. Code § 39B-1-120).
• Nevada and South Dakota. Ten business days to accept or ask for more information, then five to accept; Nevada applies it to notarized powers of attorney, South Dakota to signed, notarized ones substantially in the statutory form (NRS 162A.370, SDCL 59-12-18, 59-12-19).
• Alaska. Five business days to accept a notarized power of attorney or ask for more information, then three to accept (AS 13.26.615).
• Delaware. A person must accept a notarized power of attorney unless a listed exception applies, with no deadline in days (12 Del. C. § 49A-120).
• New Jersey. For banking transactions, a bank must accept a conforming power of attorney within a reasonable time, and explain a rejection in writing if it has the agent's address (N.J.S.A. 46:2B-13).
• Minnesota and Maryland. Minnesota makes a party that refuses a qualifying statutory short form liable as if it had refused your parent (Minn. Stat. 523.20); Maryland bars requiring a different form for authority granted in its statutory form (Estates and Trusts § 17-104). Neither sets a deadline in the sections read.
• Louisiana, Oregon, Missouri, Mississippi, Tennessee, Rhode Island and North Dakota. The sections we read set no acceptance deadline; they protect people who rely on a power of attorney in good faith.

How much does a notary cost?

It depends on the state: forty of the fifty-one jurisdictions cap or set the notary's fee for an acknowledgment. Louisiana, Massachusetts, Arkansas, Alaska, Tennessee, Maine and South Dakota don't cap it, and we found no cap in the notary laws we read for Kansas, Kentucky, Iowa and Vermont:

A New York power of attorney involves at least two acknowledgments, your parent's and the agent's.

What if your parent lives in another state?

A power of attorney signed in another state can still be valid: Texas and Florida, for example, accept one that met the law of the place where it was signed (Estates Code §751.0023, Florida Statutes §709.2106). Each state guide is built from that state's own statutes and official forms, and an elder law attorney in your parent's state can confirm whether an older document meets that state's rules.

For the bigger picture on what these documents do, see power of attorney vs. advance directive.

What questions are worth asking?

These questions can help when you talk with an elder law attorney or with the person your parent names as agent:

• Which state's rules apply: where your parent lives now, or where an older document was signed?
• Is the document a statutory form or a custom one, and does that change the signing rules?
• Who can serve as the witnesses, and who is disqualified?
• Will the agent need to sign too, as in New York?
• Which banks will need a copy, and do they have their own requirements?

Frequently asked questions

Does a power of attorney need to be notarized in California?

Not always. California Probate Code §4121 accepts acknowledgment before a notary or the signatures of two qualified adult witnesses, and the agent can't be one of them. The exception is California's Uniform Statutory Form Power of Attorney, which is legally sufficient only when your parent's signature is acknowledged.

Does a power of attorney need to be notarized in Texas?

Yes, for a durable power of attorney. Texas Estates Code §751.0021 requires your parent's signature to be acknowledged before an officer authorized to take acknowledgments to deeds and administer oaths, such as a notary public. Witnesses aren't among the listed requirements, and the notary fee is capped by statute.

Does a power of attorney need to be notarized in Florida?

Yes. Florida Statutes §709.2105 requires a power of attorney to be signed by your parent and by two subscribing witnesses, and acknowledged by your parent before a notary public. Florida requires both the witnesses and the notary, not one or the other, and caps the notary fee at $10 per notarial act (§117.05).

Does a power of attorney need to be notarized in New York?

It must be acknowledged in the manner used for a real estate deed, and a notary public is one of the officials who can take that acknowledgment. New York also requires two witnesses, and the agent must sign and have their own signature acknowledged before the power of attorney takes effect for them.

Does a power of attorney need to be notarized in Ohio?

Ohio's Revised Code 1337.25 requires your parent's signature, and acknowledging it before a notary makes the signature presumed genuine. Ohio's statutory form ends with a notary acknowledgment, and a power of attorney used for real estate must be acknowledged and recorded with the county recorder.

Does a power of attorney need to be notarized in Georgia?

Yes, in effect. Since 2018, O.C.G.A. §10-6B-5 has required one competent witness plus a second attestation under the deed-attestation statute, which Georgia's statutory form provides for with a notary's signature and seal. The witness and the notary must be different people, and neither can be named as an agent.

Does a power of attorney need to be notarized in North Carolina?

Yes. G.S. 32C-1-105 requires a power of attorney to be signed and acknowledged, which means verified before a notary public or another official authorized to take acknowledgments (G.S. 32C-1-119). A bank isn't required to accept a North Carolina power of attorney that hasn't been duly acknowledged, and the notary fee is capped by statute.

Does a power of attorney need to be notarized in Illinois?

Yes, for property. Under 755 ILCS 45/3-3.6, every Illinois power of attorney for property must bear a witness's signature and be notarized, and the statute bars certain relatives, agents and care providers from serving as either. Illinois's statutory health care form needs one witness and no notary.

Does a power of attorney need to be notarized in Michigan?

Not to be valid, but it needs a notary or two witnesses to be durable. Under MCL 556.205, a power of attorney signed before a notary, or before two witnesses who aren't agents, survives incapacity. Only a notarized one gets Michigan's seven-business-day rule for banks.

Does a power of attorney need to be notarized in Indiana?

Not necessarily. IC 30-5-4-1 accepts a notary or, for documents signed on or after March 31, 2020, two witnesses. A witness with an interest in the document, such as the named attorney in fact, can make it void if it can't be proved without that witness's testimony or signature.

Does a power of attorney need to be notarized in Arizona?

Yes. Under A.R.S. 14-5501, an Arizona financial power of attorney needs a notary's certificate under seal and one adult witness. The witness can't be the agent, the agent's spouse or children, or the notary, and the document must contain durability wording to survive incapacity.

Does a power of attorney need to be notarized in Washington?

Not necessarily. RCW 11.125.050 accepts a notary or two witnesses who aren't related to your parent or the agent and aren't your parent's care providers. Notarizing triggers the seven-business-day rule for banks, and the document needs durability wording to survive incapacity.

Does a power of attorney need to be notarized in Colorado?

Not to be valid. C.R.S. 15-14-705 requires only your parent's signature. But a notarized signature is presumed genuine, the bank-acceptance rules apply only to notarized powers of attorney, and one recorded for real estate must be acknowledged under C.R.S. 38-30-123.

Does a power of attorney need to be notarized in Wisconsin?

Not to be valid. Wis. Stat. 244.05 requires only your parent's signature, but a notarized signature is presumed genuine, and the rules limiting when a bank can refuse apply only to notarized powers of attorney. The state's form ends with a notary acknowledgment.

Does a power of attorney need to be notarized in Connecticut?

The statute requires a date, a signature and two witnesses. A notary acknowledgment isn't listed as a validity requirement, but it's needed for the bank rules, the statutory form and real estate, and it must be done in person: Connecticut bars online notarization of a power of attorney.

Does a power of attorney need to be notarized in Pennsylvania?

Yes. Under 20 Pa.C.S. § 5601, a Pennsylvania power of attorney must be acknowledged before a notary and witnessed by two adults, neither of whom can be the agent or the notary. It also needs a signed notice at the beginning and the agent's signed acknowledgment.

Does a medical power of attorney need to be notarized?

Not by statute in forty-eight of the fifty-one jurisdictions covered here. North Carolina and West Virginia require a notary along with two witnesses, and Missouri's must be notarized to stay durable. Montana's statutes set no signing rule, though its health department's forms page says to sign before a notary.
