Power of Attorney Notarization in Florida
Does a Florida Power of Attorney Need to Be Notarized?
Yes.
Under Florida law, a Power of Attorney is generally signed by the principal in the presence of two subscribing witnesses and acknowledged before a notary public.
Because a Power of Attorney may later be presented to banks, financial institutions, government agencies, or other organizations, careful execution of the document is important.
Bring the complete document, proper identification, and any witnesses required for your signing. We can provide witnesses for in-office appointments. Witnesses must be scheduled 48 hours in advance.
Trust Document Notarization
Trust packages may contain several documents requiring signatures, witnesses, acknowledgments, or other notarial acts.
​
These may include:
​
-
Living Trusts
-
Trust Amendments
-
Trust Certifications
-
Trustee-related documents
-
Affidavits and related estate documents
Because signing requirements can vary, we follow the notarization and signing instructions contained in your documents or provided by your attorney or document preparer.
​
Our role is to provide an accurate and professional notarization process while helping keep the signing organized and comfortable.

Your complete documents

A current acceptable form of identification
