What is a Limited Power of Attorney?

A limited (or special) power of attorney restricts the agent to certain actions, such as signing a single document or handling a specific transaction.

When do you need one?

Use a limited POA when you need someone to complete a one-time task, such as signing a deed, closing a sale, or picking up documents.

Does it need to be notarized?

Yes. Limited powers of attorney typically require notarization to be legally valid.

Can you notarize a Limited Power of Attorney online in your state?

Remote online notarization is authorized in 45 states, and a notarization performed under a state’s RON law is generally recognized in the others — so signers in states without their own RON statute can usually still notarize online with a commissioned notary elsewhere. Whether this document is eligible, and whether it needs witnesses, depends on your state and on the party who will accept it. Select your state for its specific rules.
