If they would otherwise be valid powers of attorney, yes.

Re: Power of Attorney

What Mr. Steuart is getting at is that it depends on the content of the document. Yes, they need to be notarized but do not need to be witnessed. But without seeing the document an attorney cannot comment on the effectiveness of the instrument.

If you need help with this please don't hesitate to ask. I have a very nice DPOA available, for both finances and health care decisions.
