=== Who can I you appoint as my your attorney? ===
As with a general power of attorney, most people making an enduring power of attorney appoint a spouse, family member or friend as their attorney.

=== Should I you see a notary public or lawyer? ===
It is a good idea to go to a lawyer or notary public to make an enduring power of attorney. You can talk with a lawyer or notary public about what your attorney can do.
A notary public or lawyer can help you with rules about the gifts, loans and donations an attorney can make on your behalf.
=== What do I you need to know about signing the documents?===
You must sign the enduring power of attorney and have the signing witnessed. You need only one witness if you use a notary public or a lawyer. Any attorney appointed after September 1, 2011 must also sign the enduring power of attorney document in front of witnesses before they can act. You and your attorney do not have to sign at the same time.
