A common question we hear is whether a notary can draft a power of attorney (POA). In Indiana, the answer is no. Notaries are not licensed to prepare legal documents unless they are also attorneys.

At Bloomington Notary, we can notarize a POA once it’s been drafted, but we cannot provide legal advice, create custom language, or determine what type of POA you need. If you’re unsure about how to proceed, we’re happy to refer you to a qualified attorney or website where you can DIY your documents.
