Unlock the Electronic Signature Legitimacy for General Power of Attorney in the United States

How to eSign a document: electronic signature legitimacy for General Power of Attorney in United States

hello I'm Timothy Weisman today we are going to discuss whether or not a electronically signed power of attorney is valid in the state of Nevada for the most part in Nevada any document that can be signed physically can also be signed electronically and be equally valid there are some minor exceptions for instance a document which must be signed under oath must be physically signed however those are the exceptions in general including powers of attorney an electronically signed document is valid now with powers of attorney this raises the question of how you can get it notarized if you're electronically signing in Nevada it is not technically required to have your power returning notarized except for certain healthcare powers of attorney however a notarized power of attorney carries with it a presumption of validity that is lacking for one that is not notarized therefore as a practical matter you virtually always want a power of attorney to be notarized and if it is not notarized the service provider can refuse to accept it or acknowledges Nevada however is one of the states that provides for electronic notaries as well so if you engage the services of an electronic notary you can have your electronically signed power of attorney electronically notarized and have carry the full presumption of validity also for powers of attorney a photocopy of a fully perfected power of attorney or an electronically transmitted copy is as valid as the original powers of attorney are serious documents that can carry severe repercussions with them you should generally consult with a qualified attorney regarding the details before executing one thank you
