Thanks for putting these up, great info! They all mention attorney, do we need to officially hire an attorney to witness these and assist with filling these out, or just see a notary?

They just need to be notarized.
However, since it is a fairly powerful legal document, it wouldn't hurt to have someone look it over.

I've always used my banker as a public notary in the past. When presented with a POA to notarize, they said they don't notarize POAs and wills... Not sure if it's my bank's rule or a general rule for banks. Nonetheless, where else might I find a public notary? Library?

The car dealership my mom works at everyone is a notary.. That's where I had mine done. Any family friends that have a notary?

I work at a bank right now and we have three notaries on staff including myself, out of an office of nine. We used to have five, but two switched offices so we're getting a couple of others trained.

Banks have lots of legal papers come through -- Durable Financial POAs (we even generate those), loan closing documents, securities transfers... we do it all. Definitely check with your local bank. They may have particular rules about what they can and can't notarize (ex. I'm not allowed to touch a Living Will or an I-9), and some will only notarize for their customers (which is stupid 'cause they're a Notary Public, as in "public" as in "for the benefit of everybody"). Still, your local bank* is a great shot.

Outside of banks, public libraries sometimes have notaries. Also, most lawyers are notaries and they probably won't charge you much for their time. Just a couple of thoughts.

Worst case scenario, bring your papers and your IDs to me in WV and I'll notarize everything for you. :P

*n.b.: if your local bank can't do it, check with a national bank in your area. Chase, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo should all have generally the same views on notaries as I do. If your local bank rep gives you a hassle, chalk it up to small-town mentality and take it somewhere with a bigger regulatory oversight who knows what the "public" in "Notary Public" means.

Yes, Navy Fed can notarize forms for you.

Many places no longer take a general POA. It's better to have specific ones. Especially for your kids.
I would do the one for kids, housing, banking, and automobile.

Would you say the ones off this site would suffice?
