<DIV><FONT size=4>I have a client who appointed son as P of A under a DPA.
It specifically includes the power “to the extent permitted by Washington law,”
to make, amend alter or revoke the Principal’s LW&T. Son now wants to
sign a new will for mom under this power. No change in beneficiaries, but
the two adult kids (who now don’t get along) were named as co-PR’s originally,
and now Son want’s to be sole PR.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Mom is probably not competent.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=4>To what extent, if at all, does Washington law permit
this?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=4>All through the years I have always represented Mom. I
am thinking , even if this is allowed, that I should say “I can’t help you,
because I had represented Mom when she put provided for co-pr’s and you will
need a different attorney to change this”.</FONT></DIV>
