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

hello hello and this is notary life with kimmy so today i'm going to be doing a mock signing of a power of attorney okay and i'm just going to get right into it because it's a lot of information this is something you can add to your google my business page and people often need you to come to hospitals or homes it could be anywhere actually that someone needs to relinquish their power and give it to someone else so today i'm going to walk through what that looks like for you and go over a few key words you need to look for and then i'm actually going to do a whole mock signing okay of a power returning so first of all the person who's giving away the power is also known as the principal and the person that they're giving the power to is often called the attorney in fact or the agent and they're going to be able to sign on behalf of the original person you will always need to id your signer you will have witnesses for this normally too and i always id the witnesses also now that's my practice for my business you need to follow what your state rules are and what your state says about that okay but i always id my signer and i i d my witnesses also um the reason people would give up a power return is maybe they're having a medical situation they're going to be hospitalized and they need someone to look after their um finances for them or a medical power return they need someone to make the decisions for them so as many reasons they could be traveling out of state out of the country many reasons why someone would need someone else to act as their power of attorney so these are pretty simple it's not your responsibility to know what's inside the document as if any other signing you're responsible for identifying everyone and making sure that the person is in their right mind that they're signing of their own free will so this is just a little bit about what the power of attorney is and how you can um get business you advertise this again on your google my business page now when pricing a power of attorney depending on what you can charge in your state you may want to charge a little bit more than you would for a normal notarization because it's going to take more time you have more people to identify you don't know it's a lot of unknowns when you're doing things like a pile of attorney so you may want to charge a little bit more for that service so what does the phone call sound like when someone calls you for general notary work and they need a pile of attorney i'll do one with you now okay hello thank you for calling on better notary this is kimberly how may i help you okay you want to get a pile of attorney completed very well it's for yourself okay yes yes we do do that do you um have current id all right and then where are you located how many witnesses are required for your document do you have your own witnesses okay you do have your own witnesses okay very good it needs two and they both are over 18 with current id also correct very good okay well yes i will see you at one o'clock is that okay yes i will see you then thank you bye so it's very good to have additional services that you can offer to your clients as a notary because as we all are aware right now there may be a shift as far as the refinances are concerned but you can market yourself for wheels and power of attorneys to nursing homes lawyers often need people to go to their clients homes that are immobile not able to move so there's still a big market out there for this type of work you can almost make sometimes on a power of attorney or a wheel signing what you would make on the job of a signing company or a refi sometimes depending on all the factors as i stated because these jobs take a lot longer and i'm going to take you to actually do one in just a moment okay we're also here at the power returning signing for mrs jones and she's i'm gonna go ahead and put her under oath we have our two witnesses and then we'll proceed with the signing okay i've already id'd them and wrote it in my journal mrs jones will get you to raise your right hand please you swear that the information contained in the documents is true and accurate to the best of your knowledge under penalty of perjury so help you god yes thank you we'll go ahead and get you to sign please mrs jones thank you again witness number one very good witness number two then i'll go ahead and i'll add my gold seal i will emboss that because again our power of attorneys and wheels if your state permits people do like to see that i'll also add my stamp and that completes our call returning signing so um i hope that you can add wheel signings and power returns to your business plan and it's been my pleasure to share these tips with you
