Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in California
power of attorney signatures
Can a Power of Attorney document
be signed by two witnesses in lieu of
a notary?
The Grantor is in a hospital; can he
sign as Grantor and have two nurses
witness his signature -- rather than
us bringing in a Notary? We just
need to get his car out of impounds
and the Storage Yard won't release it
to anyone but the registered owner,
or to his Power of Attorney.

It can, as long as it does not need to be recorded for real estate transactions. However, you may have an easier time having it accepted with a notary seal--you can arrange for a traveling notary (check online or with the National Notary Association) to come to the hospital.
