Solved

TN allows for remote notarization. It just requires that it be signed on camera, with both audio and video set up. (TN Code § 8-16-310)

Then you could use an online notary to verify.

To set up an online notary, there are options like notarize.com, or you can search for anyone licensed in TN to notarize.

My mother-in-law is in assisted living. She is not able to travel. How can I get power of attorney notarized?

Lexi, Chatbot

I understand that navigating power of attorney for your mother-in-law can be challenging. Have you already discussed this with her and obtained her consent?

Yes. I have printed the paperwork. I’m just not sure how to have her sign and I sign it and it be legal.

Lexi, Chatbot

What specific type of power of attorney are you looking to establish (e.g., financial, medical, or both)?

Both.

Hi there! Welcome. My name is Liz, and I’ve been an attorney for more than a decade. I am here to assist with your legal concerns. Just so you are aware, our service is a legal information-only site. No attorney-client relationship is formed from our conversation.

So I can best help, does she understand what she is signing?

Yes, she does.

Liz

Wonderful! What state are you in?

TN.

Liz

Great. Would you be able to have a computer connection in her room?

She does not have a computer. We have iPhones or an iPad. Would that work? How would I set that up?

Liz

That should work perfectly. It just needs to allow for something like Zoom or FaceTime to communicate with the notary.
