The law regarding notarization of a durable power of attorney (or general POA) varies from state-to-state. Also, in some states such a document also needs to be witensessed by 2 people. To find out the law in your state, you can put in a quick call to a probate attorney's office or you can go online and download a durable POA form that is used in S.C.
