What kind of power of attorney? Financial or for health care? The power of attorney should be drawn up and notarized in Tennessee. An Ohio attorney can prepare it, but it should be notarized in Tennessee because that is where she is residing. It will be effective in Ohio.

Also, I am referring to a financial power of attorney, not a health care power of attorney.
