Does a power of attorney have to be notarized in Virginia? Will a notarized POA (Financial and living) hold up in court in Virginia? — R. W., Virginia
It’s a possibility that a power of attorney must be notarized. However, your questions are legal questions that should be answered by an attorney or perhaps the agency that has prepared the document.
Hotline answers are based on the laws in the state where the question originated and may not reflect the laws of other states. If in doubt, always refer to your own state statutes. – The Editors
