Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

if a family member wants to name me as their durable power of attorney and they prepare a document and date and notarize it,do I have to take the copy they send me without my signature on it or acknowledgement and have it notarized and my signature added for any reason?

No, unless it is a pre-printed form which has a space where the agent has to acknowledge the gravity of the responsibility of acting as someone's agent.
