[WSBAPT] DPOAs for Multiple States

[Jeff at bellanddavispllc.com]

Paul,

 

This is a provision put in my DPOA's:

 

VALIDITY.  I am signing this document in Washington State, but I intend that
this Power of Attorney shall be recognized as valid in any other State or
Territory of the United States. 

 

No one has told me they have had problems when in other states.

 

Jeff

Listmates, how do you address this situation?  I generally advise estate
planning clients to have a Durable Power of Attorney and a Health Care
Decisions DPOA using the state of residency because I want the doctors and
others who are to act under the documents to accept them and I believe a WA
doctor, for example, will more readily accept a DPOA citing WA law.  (And my
standard DPOA forms say they revoke all prior DPOAs).  OK, so I have WA
clients that have family in TX (the grandchildren) and split a lot of time
between TX and WA.  Is it possible to draft the WA DPOAs to say they are
good for anywhere and specifically recognize that "clients" do not revoke
their TX DPOAs, and will defer to the TX DPOAs if the clients use them in
TX?
