It depends on state law, but here in Missouri it must be signed in front of two witnesses and notarized to be a validly executed power of attorney. The principal (the person creating the power of attorney) also must have the legal capacity to sign the document. Some states also require you to record the power of attorney with the recorder of deeds in the county where you live.
Caveat: A Power of Attorney is a powerful document. It gives another person control over your assets. There are different types.

They sell paper.
