     523.01 Authorization. 

    A person who is a competent adult may, as principal, 
 designate another person or an authorized corporation as the 
 person's attorney-in-fact by a written power of attorney.  The 
 power of attorney is validly executed when it is dated and 
 signed by the principal and, in the case of a signature on 
 behalf of the principal, by another, or by a mark, acknowledged 
 by a notary public.  Only powers of attorney validly created 
 pursuant to this section or section 523.02 are validly executed 
 powers of attorney for the purposes of sections 523.01 to 523.24.
