Be aware that a Power of Attorney must comply with Pennsylvania's rules (April, 2000), and begin with a Notice page.

The Notice page must be in capital letters.  The Notice page explains and warns the rules surrounding the immense power of a Power of Attorney and the corresponding authority of the Agent.

If you executed a Power of Attorney prior to that date (and it does not contain the Notice page), it just may cause more problems that it will solve.

Be aware that a Power of Attorney must comply with Pennsylvania's rules (April, 2000), and end with an Acknowledgment page.

The Acknowledgment page must be signed by your Agent, and until the Power of Attorney Acknowledgment page is signed by your Agent, your Agent has no power to act for you.

If you executed a Power of Attorney prior to that date (and it does not contain the Acknowledgment page), be aware that it also most likely may cause more problems than it will solve.
