Does an Agent’s signature on a POA need notarization?

I'm working with my mom to get a dual agent power of attorney document notarized. Do the agents need to sign before it is notarized, or can we sign after?

The notary is only confirming the signature of the ward. So that would be Mom.

The Agents don’t need to have their signatures notarized.

I understand the importance of getting the dual agent power of attorney document notarized correctly. Have you already filled out the document with all the necessary information?

Yes

Are both agents available to sign the document in front of the notary at the same time?

No, neither. My brother is 4 hours away and I'm even further away.

Is there anything else the Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they'll be able to help with your situation.

Yes, my brother needs to be her attorney in fact by Monday. My mother is dealing with a fraudulent contractor and officials are arriving for an investigation.
