  • Distinctions between POA for property and POA for personal care and issues between the persons with authority in each area.
  • Differences between non-continuing, continuing/enduring, conditional and springing POA and the onset of the obligations of the attorneys under each instrument.
  • What powers can be provided in a POA, including issues where the POA provides for personal power of will-making, divorce, etc.
  • Who can compel the attorney to account and what powers do third parties have to refuse to acknowledge a POA?
  • What happens to the POA on the donor's death and what liabilities do third parties have in continuing to deal with the attorney?
  • Issues where POA names multiple attorneys or contingent attorneys and what obligation do third parties have in determining the authority of the attorneys?
