hi I'm Bob Pitman and welcome to this edition of legal line we try in each edition to demystify the law translate the legalese and hopefully point you in the right direction with regard to your legal questions we had a question come in this week that asks about powers of attorney Jane is the power of attorney or acting under power of attorney for her mom sue and she wants to know how to sign documents when she's acting under the power of attorney so I'm going to pretend to be John Bell for a moment and I'm going to be acting under a written power of attorney for Jane Doe and I've got to sign something because Jane is out of commission maybe she's incapacitated maybe we're down at the hospital and I'm signing all those forums or whatever I might be signing under the authority of agrippa power of attorney so I sign my own name and just sign Bob Dylan or John Doe and I could be liable for the transaction so here's how we do it when John Doe is signing for Jane town under a durable general power of attorney so we have an agreement and we're going to date the agreement we'll put in the date and then I'm going to pretend to be Jane and actually sign Jane Doe now underneath the signature line where I have signed Jane I write the word by dy and signed John know my real name and then critically underneath that I put her attorney in fact because that's what I am what I'm acting under a power of attorney and if I sign that way I'm obligating Jane not me critical information for when we sign under a durable power of attorney for somebody else so that we personally do become liable under the transaction we'll talk about other issues and upcoming editions of legal mind be sure to check out on Pittman com
