[VA] [VA] Who signs before a notary for a POA?

This power of attorney agreement assigns POA to me, and then to my brother if I am no longer able to serve as Agent. In other words, he would be my successor. My question is this: Who needs to sign in front of a notary to create the POA? I think just my mother and myself. My brother would sign only if he needs to assume POA. Is that correct?

My husband and I would like to do a postnup. It is pretty simple and clean. We each agree to keep all of our marital assets, money, etc., separate and not have claims on each other’s in the event of a divorce. Is completing and signing the postnup form here and taking it to a notary sufficient to protect one another?
