Signature on affidavit

If my father has appointed me as the power of attorney holder, can I sign on his behalf on an affidavit in his absence ? 



Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether you can sign an affidavit on behalf of your father if you hold his power of attorney. Generally, you can only do so if the power of attorney document explicitly grants this authority. If there is no power of attorney, or if it doesn't cover signing affidavits, you cannot legally sign on his behalf. It's crucial to check the specific clauses of the POA and consider the purpose of the affidavit.

Hello,

It depends on the clauses of the power of attorney which grants powers to you by your father.

No, neither you can sign on behalf your father nor it will be acceptable.

It is advised not to sign in place of your father if the POA is silent on this issue!
