How is a power of attorney handled in comparison to a deed, mortgage, or lease?

The same, requiring signatures, witnesses, and acknowledgment
Differently, with no need for witnesses
Only by legal professionals
Through a different governmental process

The correct answer is: The same, requiring signatures, witnesses, and acknowledgment

A power of attorney, just like a deed, mortgage or lease, requires signatures, witnesses, and acknowledgment. This is because a power of attorney gives someone the power to act on your behalf, and as such, should be handled with the same level of formality as these other important legal documents. B is incorrect because witnesses are required for a power of attorney. C and D are also incorrect because a power of attorney is typically handled by individuals for personal or business reasons, rather than legal professionals or governmental processes.
