Getting the affidavit of execution signed

Arrange to have one of your witnesses sign an pdf affidavit of execution(65 KB) . An affidavit of execution is a sworn statement where a witness says in writing (confirms) that they saw you sign the power of attorney and that you were at least 19 years old (an adult) when you made the power of attorney. The witness signs the affidavit of execution in front of a Commissioner of Oaths, a lawyer, or a notary public.

One of your witnesses can do this any time after you sign your power of attorney. But the best time is right after you sign your power of attorney.

A Commissioner of Oaths, a lawyer or a notary public must confirm that the affidavit of execution is true. All lawyers are Commissioners of Oaths. You can find notaries public and Commissioners of Oaths here.
