Witnesses Power Of Attorney - Florida Law

Having witnesses for a durable power of attorney is important in Florida for several reasons:

It ensures that the power of attorney is properly executed and valid under Florida law. According to Section 709.2105, in order for a power of attorney to be valid, you must sign the Florida power of attorney in the physical presence of two (2) witnesses and must be acknowledged by a notary ¹ ². You must all sign in the presence of each other when executing the power of attorney.
It protects the principal from fraud, coercion, or undue influence. Having witnesses can help verify that the principal signed the power of attorney voluntarily and with full understanding of its consequences. Witnesses can also testify to the principal’s mental capacity and intention when signing the power of attorney.
- It facilitates the acceptance and recognition of the power of attorney by third parties. Having witnesses can help prove the authenticity and validity of the power of attorney to banks, financial institutions, health care providers, and other entities that may require proof of the agent’s authority to act on behalf of the principal.
The witnesses for a durable power of attorney in Florida cannot be any family members or anyone with financial interests to the principal because:
- It avoids conflicts of interest and potential abuse of power. Having witnesses who are related or financially connected to the principal or the agent may raise questions about their impartiality and credibility. They may have ulterior motives or personal stakes in the principal’s affairs that could compromise their judgment or testimony.
