[WSBAPT] interesting question from a financial planner

[Mike Zeno]

I was preparing a Will and dpas for a financial planner, who posed an interesting question:  his company's policy is not to accept powers of attorney that are more than 5 years old.  (I realize the policy may not have a solid legal foundation.)  He asked if that means you have to re-do/re-sign the POA every 5 years?

How do folks deal with this issue?
