Does a medical power of attorney need to be notarized?
It depends on the state where you live. In Texas, for example, a medical power of attorney needs either (1) the signature of two persons who witness the subject's signature, OR (2) it needs to be notarized by a Notary Public who witnessed the subject signing the medical power of attorney. It does not need BOTH the witness signatures AND the notarization. But in almost all cases, it is a good idea to get the document notarized even if you have two witnesses. It reduces the possibility that it will be challenged.
