Under which code can a notary certify a copy of a power of attorney?

  1. Civil Code

  2. Probate Code

  3. Criminal Code

  4. Education Code

The correct answer is: Probate Code

The other options are incorrect because they do not pertain to the specific task of certifying a copy of a power of attorney. The Civil Code is a set of laws dealing with civil matters, the Criminal Code deals with criminal laws, and the Education Code specifically pertains to education matters. The Probate Code, on the other hand, deals with matters of estate planning, which includes issues related to powers of attorney. Therefore, only under the Probate Code can a notary certify a copy of a power of attorney.
