Oregon Power of Attorney FAQ
Common questions about power of attorneys under Oregon law.
Does an Oregon power of attorney need to be notarized?
Yes. Under ORS §127.005, a POA must be acknowledged before a notary public or witnessed by two adult witnesses. Notarization is preferable as financial institutions and real estate recorders typically require it.
What makes a POA 'durable' in Oregon?
A durable POA in Oregon must explicitly state that it remains effective notwithstanding the principal's subsequent disability or incapacity. Without this language, the POA terminates automatically if the principal becomes incapacitated, which is the opposite of what most people intend.
