We keep seeing the same issue come back:
The document shows something like:
“John Doe by Jane Doe, his attorney-in-fact”
But then the signer either:
👉 Signs just their name
👉 Signs below the line
👉 Or doesn’t include the full format
And that’s where the problem starts.
The signature should actually look like:
“John Doe by Jane’s signature, his attorney-in-fact”
Not just Jane’s name… not under the line… but the full format as shown.
It might seem like a small detail, but this is one of those things that can easily get documents rejected.
Quick tip:
Don’t assume the signer knows how to sign under POA, guide them through it every time.
👉 Have you ever had to correct a POA signature at the table? What did the signer do at first? 😅
