While Oklahoma doesnt technically require you to get your POA notarized, notarization is strongly recommended. Under Oklahoma law, when you sign your POA in the presence of a notary public, your signature is presumed to be genuinemeaning your POA is more ironclad.
Do I have to file the POA or DPOA at the Courthouse? If the POA or DPOA involves real estate, it must be filed with the County Clerk in the county the real estate resides. You may file a POA with the Court Clerk, but if this is done it becomes a public record.
In 2021, the Oklahoma Legislature enacted a new Uniform Power of Attorney Act under Title 58 O.S. sec. 3001 et. seq. This Act allows a person to make a power of attorney covering a wide range of decisions but stops short of health care decisions.
When someone makes you the agent in their power of attorney, you cannot: Write a will for them, nor can you edit their current will. Take money directly from their bank accounts. Make decisions after the person you are representing dies. Give away your role as agent in the power of attorney.
One major downfall of a POA is the agent may act in ways or do things that the principal had not intended. There is no direct oversight of the agents activities by anyone other than you, the principal. This can lend a hand to situations such as elder financial abuse and/or fraud.

If you execute a general POA, one of the biggest potential disadvantages is that your Agent has the ability to devastate you financially. With a general POA your Agent can withdraw funds from all your financial and investment accounts, sell your property, and even enter contracts in your name.
What does power of attorney durable mean? A durable POA gives someone else legal authority to act on your behalf, and it continues in force even if you lose your mental capacity. Financial POAs give your agent financial powers that may include managing your assets, paying bills, and buying and selling real estate.
