Unfortunately, the children do not get along with each other, and in fact distrust each other. I have been asked to amend the powers of attorney to add a clause forbidding any Agent from paying themselves for services performed for their mother. First, have any of you just amended a power of attorney so you have two documents forming the power, or do you just do a completely new power of attorney? Second, not that I disagree with not paying Agents who will inherit after their mother’s death, have any of you ever barred an Agent from being compensated?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Jeff Davis<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:black'>W.
