When someone says they have Power Of Attorney, should they have a document with the signature of the person they are making the decision for?

Eric James Smith
Answered by attorney Eric James Smith (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Eric J. Smith
A power of attorney is a delegation or sharing of rights by a living person and is invalid after the death of the principle. An agent acting under power of attorney should have the document, though in Texas a copy of the document has the same force and effect as the original. Also in Texas, a medical power of attorney and a statutory durable power of attorney are generally 2 separate documents governing medical and financial matters, respectively. The statutory form for power of attorney in Texas requires the principle sign before a notary.

Answered by attorney James T Dunn (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at James T. Dunn P.C.
Under Utah's family expense statute, the wife, but not the children are responsible for debt incurred by the deceased to provide the "necessaries of life" which include, clothing, food, shelter, and medical care. Any frivolous or other expenditures, the surviving spouse is not reponsible for. However, the Probate Code makes clear that there can be no distribution to heirs until all debts of the decedent are paid. To the extent that distributions of the estate are made to survivors of the deceased when a proper claim has been made against the estate, the personal representative or heirs who receive $ can be hedld liable to the creditor who did not get paid.
