PART 4 - Section 4

 

Attorney-In-Fact

 

This is where the principal signer has signed a power of attorney which allows another person to sign on their behalf. The person signing is the Attorney-In-Fact.  It is a good idea to ask to see the power of attorney document. 

 

As an example, a woman named Jane M. Doe is acting as attorney-in-fact and signing for John S. Smith.  The document would be signed in this fashion:

 

John S. Smith by Jane M. Doe, attorney-in-fact

 

Or, alternatively,

 

Jane M. Doe, attorney-in-fact for John S. Smith, principal

 

You are only notarizing the signature of the person who is appearing before you, who is in this example, Jane M. Doe, the attorney-in-fact.  On your notarial certificate, you only name the attorney-in-fact because that is the only signature you are notarizing.  The attorney-in-fact must also sign your notarial journal, and it is recommended that you make a notation in your journal regarding the fact that the document was signed by an attorney-in-fact.
