Is it mandatory to include in a proxy, a specimnt the signature of the ownera I want a proxy of a member of the family. At the time of the creation of the power a few years ago, nor the lawyer who has established, or the notary who notarized the deed, felt it necessary to provide power to document a sample of my signature
The document was accepted as lawful by several large banks and mutual funds. Recently, a mutual fund has rejected the P / A result indicating "Power holders signature on the document is missing" So I raise this question,
Legally, no, it is not necessary.
Many forms have a place POA specimen signature. It is an aid in identifying you. If not used, the other party should be another way to convince yourself that you are the person named in the POA.
That said, I will now tell you that I had the same problem. A clerk is accustomed to seeing shapes with specimen signatures, which has none, or (in my case) looks at the form and see an empty space and said, "Oh, look! An empty space! It is not valid. "I had a conversation with a supervisor and pointed out that the specimen signatures are optional and then everything went through all right. But it was a pain.
The same problem may occur with the successor trustee on the life of the trust deeds.
