Power Of Attorney Signatures

Summary

In Alaska, a Power of Attorney typically requires the principals authentic signature. Delegation of signing authority to another person is not allowed unless explicitly stated in the document. If the principal is out of the country, check if the POA allows for remote signing or delegation. Ensure all provisions are clearly outlined in the document.
