NO, and that is true nation wide.
However, the more you do to make the Power of Attorney acceptable the better.
A Power of Attorney is very easy to do and no lawyers are needed.
"I you name, give the other person's name, the power to make all decisions and to act on my behalf. Then you sign it.
That is all that is needed. This kind is a durable Power of Attorney, and most lawyers recommend that you put limits on it making it a limited power of attorney. You can put a time limit, or require the decision of other people.
To cancel a Power of Attorney you only have to inform the person that the Power of Attorney is made out to, in writing, that you are canceling the Power of Attorney and sign it.
Without your signature on both documents the Power of Attorney is invalid. Once canceled though it is best to make sure that it is canceled. For example if you give a Power of Attorney to someone to pay your bills then when you cancel the Power of Attorney you had better tell the bank as well.

a ability of lawyer could desire to be finished in accordance with the regulations of the State (each and every State differs). some require a notary and one greater witness. After execution, the POA could desire to be recorded in the county the place this is for use. The POA isn't efficient till recording happens.
