Re: Power of Attorney and Health Care Power of Attorney
Only the notary is necessary for these two documents. A will, however, would need two (2) witnesses, unless it is all hand-written by the testator.
If you need notary service or you need the documents drafted up for you, our office specializes in wills, trusts and estates. Please feel free to contact me at the email provided by LawGuru or through our firm's site PasadenaEstatePlanning.com.
Re: Power of Attorney and Health Care Power of Attorney
All powers of attorney must be notarized, and do not need to be witnessed (except that a health care directive in some instances must be witnessed by a patient advocate)
