Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a power of attorney that:



(1)  Was duly executed by a person in the military
service who is in a missing status (as defined in section 551(2) of Title 37,
United States Code);



(2)  Designates that person's spouse, parent, or other
named relative as the person's attorney in fact for certain specified, or all,
purposes; and



(3)  Expires by its terms after that person entered a

shall be automatically extended for the period that
the person is in a missing status.



(b)  No power of attorney executed after July
1, 1994 by a person in the military service may be extended under subsection
