|

Has anyone here signed a legal form, probably via an attorney in the States that allows a family member to legally sign documents for you?
What is this called and anyone be assigned to legally sign something for you?
What does something like that cost?
Thanks for your thoughts on this. |

It's called Power of Attorney, and you need a notary to sign off on it.
Two types:
General - gives them the right to do Anything on your behalf
Specific - gives them the right to do ONE specific thing you need |

Meh. I signed a piece of paper a few times and told my mom to have at it. My accountant knows, and her friend's a notary. I trust my mother completely. |

NYCGal: Yeah, I've had my sister forge one or two things.
Any idea davai what a power of attorney (general) costs?
The bottleneck in my background check is the county court office. My bank will notarize anything, the Dept. of State will do things quickly but the middle guys who verify if the notary's for real are the issue in my county/state. A pain.....
Thanks for the ideas. |
