Vermont Power of Attorney FAQ
Common questions about power of attorneys under Vermont law.
Does a Vermont power of attorney need to be notarized?
Yes. 14A V.S.A. § 105 requires the principal to sign the power of attorney in the presence of a notary public for it to be valid. Vermont does not require witness signatures in addition to notarization.
What is a Vermont durable power of attorney?
A durable POA includes language that it remains effective if the principal becomes incapacitated, as authorized by 14A V.S.A. § 104. Without this language, the POA automatically terminates upon the principal's incapacity.
