Legal Question
Is a limited or general “power of attorney” valid in CA if signed by two disinterested witnesses instead of by a notary public?
A CA state prisoner wants to give power of attorney to his girlfriend for limited purposes. The prison does not provide notary service, and it’s an extreme hassle to have a notary visit the prisoner. May the prisoner use two fellow inmates as his witnesses? Which sections of the Probate, Civil, Evidence or other CA codes apply in this instance?
