Uniform Power of Attorney Act Status Update

The following is from the September 2005 issue of the Real Estate, Probate and Trust Bulletin:

In July the Uniform Power of Attorney Act had its second reading before the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws. The drafting committee for the act anticipates that the Act will go for final approval before the Conference at their Annual Meeting in July 2006. Section members are encouraged to submit any comments or suggestions they may have to Linda Whitton, Reporter for the Act (linda.whitton@valpo.edu), by October 15th. A special breakfast meeting will be held on Friday, November 4th at the section’s Fall Leadership meeting for anyone interested in discussing revisions to the Act.

The Drafting Committee will consider suggested revisions to the Act at a meeting to be held the first weekend of December. The most recent draft of the Act can be obtained on the NCCUSL website (www.nccusl.org) by following the links to the drafting committee’s page or by contacting Linda Whitton
