Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas
power of attorney
Is it necessary to file a power of attorney with the county clerk? Since I am getting my signature on it notarized, why is it necessary to also have witnesses sign it? Is it necessary to have the attorney-in-fact and contingent attorney-in-fact also sign it?

Re: power of attorney
It's only necessary to file it with the County Clerk's office in the county where your attorney in fact will be buying or selling property as your attorney in fact.
You need two witnesses because the law says you need two witnesses in order to have a valid power of attorney.
It is not necessary for your attorney in fact or alternate sign the power.
