ALABAMA LEGAL INFORMATION

• Notary: Although the Alabama statutes do not explicitly state that a power of attorney must be notarized to be effective, it is highly recommended that any power of attorney created in Alabama be notarized.
  
• Witnesses: No requirement that the signature of the principal be witnessed.
  
• Signature of Agent: No requirement that the agent sign the POA; however, the standard MedLawPlus.comŽ POA form does have a signature block for the agent. It is a recommended practice to have an agent (also called "attorney-in-fact") sign the POA.
