§551D-4 - Power of attorney not revoked until notice.
[§551D-4] Power of attorney not revoked
until notice. (a) The death of a principal who has executed a written
power of attorney, durable or otherwise, does not revoke or terminate the
agency as to the attorney-in-fact or other person, who, without actual
knowledge of the death of the principal, acts in good faith under the power.
Any action so taken, unless otherwise invalid or unenforceable, binds
successors in interest of the principal.
(b) The disability or incapacity of a
principal who has previously executed a written power of attorney that is not a
durable power does not revoke or terminate the agency as to the
attorney-in-fact or other person, who, without actual knowledge of the
disability or incapacity of the principal, acts in good faith under the power.
Any action so taken, unless otherwise invalid or unenforceable, binds the
principal and the principal's successors in interest. [L 1989, c 270, pt of §1]
