In the state of Georgia, do POAs require witnesses as well as a notary? Or is a notary alone sufficient? Thank you!

A POA Must be Signed in a Particular Manner to be Valid [New O.C.G.A. Section 10-6B-5]. To be valid under the UPOAA, a Georgia POA must be signed by the principal (or by another individual in the principal’s presence at the principal’s direct direction), and attested and signed by one or more witnesses and a notary public. The principal, the witnesses, and the notary must all be in each other’s presence at the time the document is signed. POAs executed outside of Georgia must comply with the state law that is stated as applicable in the POA. If the non-Georgia POA does not state what law applies, then it must comply with the law of the state where the POA was executed.
