[WSBAPT] Out of State POAs

[Glenn Price]

Krista:

 

Given (1) the ability of a third party to challenge and refuse to honor an out-of-state (or any) power of attorney, (2) the critical importance of having current, well-drafted powers of attorney in place and (3) their relative inexpensiveness, why wouldn’t you advise every client executing a WA will to also update and fortify their disability planning by executing WA DPOAs?  This seems like an easy one to me.

It is a document I review carefully if they spend a great deal of time here or move here.  I find the out of state documents are less precise and may easily be misinterpreted here in Washington.  It only takes me 5-10 minutes so cheap for the client.  I charge by time spent, not per document...

Hi Good People:

 

I”m wondering whether you routinely redo out of state POAs if a client is redoing an out-of-state will anyway?  My client’s AK POAs look perfectly good, but I am not certain whether it is harder to get WA third parties to accept out of state POAs?  Thank you for your comments!
