Regardless of the state, your father (as the principal) is required to sign the power of attorney, indicating they are appointing a certain person as your agent or attorney-in-fact. In MI, the document must be signed by the principal and notarized or witnessed by two individuals (§ 556.205).
The witnesses must be present but the notary does not. You can use an online or electronic notary for the notarization of the POA. If the POA is not signed by him in person before two witnesses, it makes it susceptible to a challenge in court as legally invalid.

I understand you need help getting a document signed. Is this document related to a business matter or a personal issue?

Are you looking for a way to have the person sign the document electronically, or are you considering other options as well?
