[WSBAPT] POA Rejected until filed/recorded

[Brent Williams-Ruth]

List Members -

Just want to share a couple notes about two entities that are REFUSING to
honor a valid POA until it is recorded.  Both Farmers Insurance and BECU
have rejected an attorney-drafted POA until she takes it to King County
Recording.

This is a step-up in how terrible BECU has been. A year ago (literally
right now) they were forcinging me to bring my mother out of her death bed
to sign a document allowing me access to the family trust - despite the
fact that I had the entire trust, I had the letter from the doctor of
incapacity AND the fact she was on hospice and was days away from death.

Last year, BECU only required a certification of POA as per 11.125.430. Now
they are insisting on it being recorded.

Just wanted to share so that you can be prepared when you hear this from
your own clients.
