Powers of Attorney
A Power of Attorney (POA) is an important legal document that allows one person, known as the agent or attorney-in-fact, to act on behalf of another person, known as the principal. Depending on the authority granted in the document, a Power of Attorney may address financial matters, real estate transactions, banking, business affairs, personal matters, or other important decisions.
Because of the significant authority these documents can provide, proper execution and identification are especially important. When a Power of Attorney requires notarization, Raritan Valley Notary Services provides a professional, confidential, and detail-oriented notarization experience.
During the appointment, we verify the identity of the signer, confirm their willingness to sign, and perform the appropriate notarial act requested for the document. We take particular care with these appointments because Powers of Attorney are often associated with important financial, family, estate-planning, or time-sensitive circumstances.
Our mobile notary service also provides added convenience for clients who need us to travel to a private residence, attorney's office, healthcare facility, assisted-living community, rehabilitation center, or another suitable location.
We do not prepare Powers of Attorney or provide legal advice regarding the authority they grant. Clients should consult an attorney or other qualified professional regarding the appropriate document and its legal requirements.
Important authority deserves careful execution. Professional notarization when it matters most.
