Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in New Jersey

A Notary acknowledges that the person who signs a document is really the person who is named in the document. That is the entire purpose of getting something notarized. A person shows their identification to the Notary and signs the document in front of them. The Notary will sign as notary and affix their stamp and seal. There is no special state that the document needs to be notarized in. It will be notarized in whatever state in which you choose to personally appear before a Notary who is authorized in that state. Traditionally, a Power of Attorney will have one witness. The Notary may sign as witness as well as sign as Notary. This is the literal answer to your question. I obviously have not seen the document that you obtained. Therefore, I cannot comment one way or the other as to whether the document you seek to sign is a well-prepared document or will pass muster as a valid Power of Attorney in the State of New Jersey for the purpose you intend.
