Power of Attorney need not be attested with witness. It will be lawful and binding poa without witness.

write a statement revoking the power of attorney. Have it witnessed, and put it in the keeping of your attorney. If you do not have an attorney, make sure all significant people in your life know you have revoked the power of attorney. Send the person who has the power of attorney you signed a registered letter stating that you have revoked the power of attorney.....

The number of witnesses required varies from state to state. Most states do not require another witness other than the Notary Public. Your Power of Attorney will have the appropriate number of witness signature spaces for your state. To be competent as witnesses, the witnesses must be over the age of majority and must have the mental capacity to know that they are acting as witnesses to the Power of Attorney and would be competent to testify regarding the signing of the Power of Attorney.
