POA correcting mistakes?

ceewash

Finally got parents to sort out POA and had big signing session with a friend of theirs. However my brother made a mistake in the date box and started putting his date of birth. He had written 18 07 when he realised and went back and wrote over it today's date 05 12 2020. Will this be acceptable or do I need to do something about it? Help please trying to avoid having them sent back and starting again.

To be on the safe side I would get him to fill it in on a fresh copy of his section.

Will it matter if it's done on a different day and a different witness to the rest?

No, the attorneys are last in line to sign and they can sign on different dates with different witnesses. In many cases it would be impractical to do it any other way.

It is acceptable if he initials the correction.

Yes, just don't use any tippex because that's not acceptable.
