Why do you believe you can file a joint tax return if you are domestic partners with someone? And why is this in the section for elder law/living wills/health care directives?

Federal tax law does not recognize domestic partners. You are required to use the same state filing status as you used for Federal taxes.

Form 2848 does not require notarization. Therefore, if you use form 2848 you don't need a notary.
