If your Aunt is granting you power of attorney over her affairs, she will need to be present to sign the POA and have it notarized and signed by two witnesses. She can also dictate what powers she wants you to have specifically in the POA. You will likely need to sign an agent statement acknowledging and accepting the responsibility of acting as POA and that you will do so with her best interests in mind, but that doesn't have to be signed at the same time as the POA itself in my experience.

You need the professional assistance of an experienced lawyer to help you prepare the exact kind of POA you will need to be attorney-in-fact for your absent aunt.
