Power Of Attorney Notarization Requirement

Notarization is highly recommended in Wisconsin for your Power of Attorney (POA). When you sign your Power Of Attorney in the presence of a notary public, your signature is presumed to be genuine. This means that your power of attorney is more ironclad under Wisconsin law. Many financial institutions may or will require a Power Of Attorney to be notarized before they accept it.
