Q
I have a durable power of attorney with my daughter as the attorney-in-fact. My daughter has married and has a new last name. Do I need to change her surname on the power of attorney form, and if so, how do I go about this?
A
Your durable power of attorney is still effective, but it could cause some confusion. So the best solution is to sign a new power of attorney replacing the old one and using your daughter’s new name.
