STEP-BY-STEP EXECUTION & FILING GUIDE

1. Preparation: Open this document in a word processor (Microsoft Word or Google Docs). Replace all bracketed text (e.g., [Insert Full Legal Name]) with the relevant factual data. Ensure the "Scope of Authority" in Section 1 aligns exactly with the LLP's internal Board/Partner Resolution.
2. Internal Authorization: Verify that the "Principal" signatory has the legal authority to bind the LLP. This usually requires a signed "Resolution of Partners" authorizing the issuance of a PoA. Keep a copy of that resolution attached to this document.
3. Witnessing & Notarization:
   • Do not sign the document until you are in the presence of a licensed Notary Public.
   • Some jurisdictions require two independent witnesses in addition to a Notary. If required, add witness signature lines below the Attorney block.
4. Digital Execution: If executing via DocuSign or Adobe Sign:
   • Ensure the digital signature service provides a "Certificate of Completion" with IP addresses and timestamps.
   • Check if your jurisdiction accepts digital notarization (Remote Online Notarization or RON). If not, physical "wet-ink" signatures are required.
5. Filing & Record Retention:
   • Originals: The Attorney should hold one original; the LLP should retain one original in its minute book.
   • Third Parties: Provide certified copies (not originals) to banks, government agencies, or landlords as proof of authority.
   • Revocation: If the PoA is revoked, a formal "Notice of Revocation" must be signed, notarized, and sent to all third parties who relied on the original PoA.
