How is a power of attorney signed in Florida?
Florida requires the principal, two witnesses and a notary for a valid power of attorney, and the agent must be an adult or a qualifying financial institution.
Section 709.2105, Florida Statutes, requires a power of attorney to be signed by the principal and by two subscribing witnesses, and the principal must acknowledge it before a notary public.
The agent must be a natural person who is at least 18 years old, or a financial institution with trust powers that has a place of business in Florida and is authorized to conduct trust business in Florida.
