If they signed a power of attorney in front of a notary public and gave the power of attorney to you, then you now have authority to act on their behalf to do whatever the power of attorney gives you authority to do.
So for example, if you needed to go do banking on their behalf, then you would take the power of attorney with you to the bank and give them a copy of it, and then you would be authorized to act to do banking on behalf of the grantor of the power.

Hello and welcome to the site! My name is Barrister and I am a licensed attorney, and I am here to help with your situation.
Are you granting a power of attorney to someone, or is someone granting a power of attorney to you to act on their behalf?
Yes, my sister and her son granted me power of attorney.
The form that I complete for the power of attorney — they have to sign it and get notarized and what do I do after that?
Barrister
If they signed a power of attorney in front of a notary public and gave the power of attorney to you, then you now have authority to act on their behalf to do whatever the power of attorney gives you authority to do.
So for example, if you needed to go do banking on their behalf, then you would take the power of attorney with you to the bank and give them a copy of it, and then you would be authorized to act to do banking on behalf of the grantor of the power.
The form online — does it need to be signed by an attorney?
Barrister
No, an attorney isn't preparing it, so one doesn't sign it.
It just needs to be signed by the person granting the POA to you in front of a notary and have 2 witnesses.
Okay, I completely understand now. Thank you very much.
