Durable power of attorney

[grandma_help]

My grandmother is on a vent. Her bills are piling up. She cannot sign documents at this time. I need to become her durable power of attorney. I dont want to hire an attorney. Can she sign with an "X"? Or can she give verbal consent with witnesses?

Is grandma competent?

yes she is

She can sign with an X if there are two witnesses OTHER THAN the power of attorney and the notary.

You would write HER above the X and MARK below the X.

It would need to be witnessed and notarized in accordance with your state law.
