[VA] My mother is assigning POA to me and my brother as the successor agent. Who needs to sign in front of the notary?

This power of attorney agreement assigns POA to me, and then to my brother if I am no longer able to serve as Agent. In other words he would be my successor. My question is this: Who needs to sign in front of a notary to create the POA? I think just my mother and myself. My brother would sign in the case when he needs to assume POA. Is that correct?
