I have heard that the law concerning durable powers of attorney has changed. Do I need to sign a new power of attorney?
If your durable power of attorney was signed before October 1, 1995 you should sign a new durable power of attorney. Durable powers of attorney signed before that date continue to be effective. However, due to a change in the law concerning powers of attorney, durable powers of attorney signed after that date are more likely to accepted by Florida financial institutions.
