The legal standards for executing a statutory power of attorney vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Generally, the principal must be competent and must execute the POA voluntarily. Generally it must be acknowledged in front of a notary and if it is signed in New York or California, for example, it must have an additional addendum for the notary.
It is important to check the requirements in your particular state or country.
