Under Montana legislation, this must be done in the following way: Both the Principal and the Agent must sign. A notary public must oversee the signing and sign too. If you are signing a Power of Attorney, you will need to have your signatured acknowledged by a notary public.

In Montana, there are generally four types of Power of Attorney: General, Durable, Special (or Limited), and Medical. A General POA gives broad powers to your agent to act in your stead. A Durable POA remains in effect even if you become incapacitated. A Special or Limited POA is for one-time or specific transactions.

This is a legal form that lets you have a voice in your health care. It will let your family, friends, and medical providers know how you want to be cared for if you cannot speak for yourself.

Does a Power of Attorney remain valid after a death? The short answer is no, a Power of Attorney dies with the person. A Power of Attorney is a document that grants another person permission to act on their behalf, during life, thus when that individual passes away, the document is null and void.

No, in Montana, you do not need to notarize your will to make it legal. However, Montana allows you to make your will "self-proving" and you'll need to go to a notary if you want to do that. A self-proving will speeds up probate because the court can accept the will without contacting the witnesses who signed it.

Advance Directives (Living Wills), created under the "Montana Rights of the Terminally Ill Act" (also known as the Montana Living Will Act) allow individuals the maximum possible control over their own medical care and inevitable death.
