[WSBAPT] Bank non-acceptance of POA

[Andrekita Silva]

  Nick,
 
You can look at the annotated RCW  (so Wests RCWA – the green bound  
volumes) for the history of /_ANY_/ statue and what changes, if any,  
have been made to it since it’s enactment.
 
I don’t know exactly is required for a copy of a notarized document to  
be a reliable substitute for the original. 
Have you tried to locate the notary who notarized the document?  I’ve  
never read the actual rules for what a notary’s record keeping should  
be. However, I know notaries are encouraged to maintain a log of their  
notary events.  Most notarizations have a space for the notaries  
printed name, so you should be able to figure out who the notary is.  
I'm sure the state keeps track of all notaries.

Twenty years is a long time ago, but if you locate the notary, or the  
entity (agency/ firm/ etc) that they worked for, they might be able to  
verify that the document was notarized by them.
 
I can understand that a bank would want a document with a certain  
measure of reliability.
