<div>While you wait for the big guns to weigh in, I have zero experience in
litigating or arguing these, and I have only read of these, and that years
ago. I cannot see how the POA would be involved arguing that that does not
affect the estate plan, but the PR might be an issue because it would require a
codicil, right? However, might a codicil changing the PR be harmless
“error” if you will if in fact it has not affect on the plan of
disposition? but then again, this is just my overvalued 2 cents.
