MOMS Park coi pond where simple weddings for two are done. It's a beautiful, hidden place that is private and quiet. It's also a place where John Travolta's son has a bench nearby that was dedicated to him.

Durable Power of Attorney (Florida)
Florida requires:
Two witnesses, AND
A notary acknowledgment

👉 Can the notary also be a witness?
Yes—generally, in Florida, a notary can serve as one of the two witnesses for a Durable Power of Attorney.

There’s no statute that prohibits it, and it’s commonly done in practice (as long as the notary is otherwise qualified and not a party to the document).

✔️ So you can have:

Witness #1 = Notary
Witness #2 = Separate person

BUT best practice:
Many attorneys and title companies prefer three separate people (2 witnesses + notary) to avoid any challenge later.

⚠️ Healthcare Directive / Health Care Surrogate (Florida)

This is different.

Florida requires 2 witnesses
Notarization is NOT required

Additional rules:

At least one witness cannot be a spouse or blood relative
The healthcare surrogate cannot be a witness

👉 Can a notary also be a witness here?
Yes, IF you choose to notarize it, the notary can typically also act as a witness—
as long as they meet witness requirements (not related, not the surrogate, etc.).

🧠 Bottom Line
Durable POA:
✔ Notary can also be a witness (legally allowed)
✔ Still safer to use 3 separate people
Healthcare Directive:
✔ Notary not required at all
✔ If used, can also be a witness (with restrictions)
