Healthcare Power of Attorney Notary in North Carolina
A healthcare Power of Attorney can allow a person to designate someone to make healthcare decisions under circumstances established by the document and North Carolina law.
If the signer is in a nursing home, assisted living facility, hospital, or private residence, arranging the notarization may require a mobile notary.
North Carolina Execution Requirements Matter
The North Carolina statutory form states that the document should be signed in the presence of two qualified witnesses and proved by a notary public.
North Carolina law also defines who may qualify as a witness and includes restrictions involving certain healthcare and facility employees.
That is why you should not simply ask two convenient people to sign as witnesses without determining whether they qualify.
