Montana Power of Attorney FAQ
Common questions about power of attorneys under Montana law.
Does a Montana power of attorney need to be notarized?
Yes. Under §72-31-305, a Montana power of attorney must be signed and acknowledged before a notary public. Without notarization, the document will not be accepted by most financial institutions or for real estate transactions.
What is the difference between a durable and a regular POA in Montana?
A regular POA terminates automatically if the principal becomes incapacitated. A durable POA (containing the statutory durability language under §72-31-305) remains effective despite incapacity — making it the appropriate tool for estate planning.
