Hello! I am in Texas. I am creating a POA for my minor child as both her father and I are traveling. Instead of a notary notarizing the document, can we have two witnesses sign it?
I understand your concern about creating a POA for your minor child. Have you already prepared the document, or do you need guidance on how to create it?
I've already created it.
Are you aware of any specific requirements or restrictions in Texas regarding who can serve as witnesses for a Power of Attorney document for a minor child?
I don't know about that. I filled it out on the eForms template.
Is there anything else the Family Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they’ll be able to help with witnesses.
No. I just need to know if the document can be witnessed by two different people, or if it has to be notarized.
Hello! Legal Eagle here, and I am an attorney specializing in your area of law. I am more than happy to help you with your situation! Do you have access to a notary at all or no?
Hello, no not at this time. Is it ok for me to have the POA for my minor witnessed by two different people not related?
Ok, I understand what you mean in this case! I'm a little concerned doctors or school may have issues if there is no notary. Do you mind if I take a moment to see if the law has changed on whether a notary is required?
Yes, please confirm. Thanks.
