Bill > AB2199

This bill revises and updates the standardized legal document known as a statutory form power of attorney, which allows individuals to grant broad authority to a trusted person (an agent or attorney-in-fact) to manage their affairs. Key changes include allowing the appointment of a backup agent or agents if the primary agent cannot act, and enabling the individual to nominate their chosen agent(s) to be appointed as conservator(s) of their estate by a court if needed. A significant addition is the inclusion of specific options for granting powers related to digital assets, such as access to a list of electronic communications or the content of those communications, with the understanding that these terms will be defined by the Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act.
