[Browse the store](/toolkits) Who it is for Anyone signing a power of attorney in North Dakota, the agent who will act under it, and family members helping on signing day. The kit doesn't draft the document; your lawyer prepares it. Not the right fit if The person signing doesn't live in North Dakota, you need the document written (that's a lawyer's job), or there's doubt about capacity or pressure from family. Not a power of attorney form or a legal service. Why it is different - Built only from our North Dakota power of attorney data file, checked November 2026 against N.D.C.C. chapter 30.1-30, Uniform Durable Power of Attorney Act (North Dakota Legislative Branch); Power of Attorney (North Dakota Court System Legal Self Help Center); Instructions for General Durable Power of Attorney (North Dakota Legal Self Help Center, rev. Nov 2025); Making Health Care Decisions in North Dakota (North Dakota Department of Human Services, revised July 2001). - 2 facts aren't stated on those pages, so the kit leaves them out and lists them once to look up, instead of guessing. - Also from the file: The court system's self-help page says health decisions aren't included in a power of attorney and need a separate health care directive. - For the estate side in North Dakota, the North Dakota Executor and Estate Kit: The entire estate, wherever located, less liens and encumbrances, up to $100,000, with no real property in the probate estate. What is inside - **Start here.** The 6 confirmed North Dakota facts at a glance; to look up on the official page: agent's acknowledgment, statutory form. - **North Dakota signing checklist, financial and healthcare.** Step by step in signing order: notary: Sign in front of a notary, who completes an acknowledgment; witnesses: The court self-help instructions call for a notary or clerk of court and don't mention witnesses; recording for real estate: The chapter doesn't require recording; an agent's affidavit is recordable when the transaction needs a recordable instrument; durable after incapacity: Include durable wording if it should keep working after incapacity. Healthcare: The state's 2001 summary says a durable power of attorney for health care is signed before a notary or two witnesses; the agent, spouse, heirs, relatives and the attending physician can't serve, and one witness can't be a direct-care provider. - **Signing-day sheet.** Who has to be there (a notary; for the healthcare one, 2 witnesses or a notary), and their ID. - **After signing: copies, recording and the agent.** Recording: The chapter doesn't require recording; an agent's affidavit is recordable when the transaction needs a recordable instrument. Plus a copies log. - **North Dakota POA signing tracker (Excel).** Signing-day steps with a status, everyone's ID, a copies log and an agent's ledger. - **In North Dakota's own words.** Notary: "in the presence of a Notary Public or Clerk of Court." Recording for real estate: "requires execution and delivery of any instrument that is recordable" Durable after incapacity: "This power of attorney is not affected by subsequent disability or incapacity of the principal or by lapse of time" Healthcare power of attorney: "You must sign a durable power of attorney for health care in the presence of a notary public or two witnesses."
