@Frank_Thelen It depends. Not everyone wants to authorize someone for all conceivable actions. In addition, notarization seems to be necessary due to the actions that may have to be taken. It costs money and is not something that can be done quickly, especially for people who would prefer not to worry about it.

@Frank_Thelen But if you don't want to invest time in something like this, you won't invest any money at all (regardless of your assets).

In what way should the court not accept it? So for which transactions? Except for transactions that require a notarial form, such as in real estate transactions due to § 29 GBO, the power of attorney is sufficient for legitimization.
It is certainly true that a notarized general power of attorney is better. I don't disagree with that. For many people, however, a simple power of attorney is also sufficient.
A notarized will is also better than a handwritten one, but a handwritten one is also sufficient. Anything is better than nothing.
