[WSBARP] Litigating with an Agent

[Jeff Crollard]

Paul,

What I've done is "Principal's name, by and through her Durable Power of Attorney Agent, Agent's name."  Same if the Principal has died, then it's "by and through her Personal Representative."  Never had a problem.

Hey Listmates, I need to bring a UD action on behalf of a disabled person and I am working with the agent under a POA.  What does my masthead say?  Just plead with the principal but signed by the agent as "principal, by agent under POA"?  Regular masthead with the principal and in my first paragraph say it is being brought by the agent under the POA?  Do I need to attach the POA?  I thank you and my malpractice carrier thanks you.
