Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
My father recently remarried and is currently in the hospital.
Does he need to make a new durable power of attorney or does the previous one still hold up

It lasts until he revokes it or he dies, unless the terms of the power of attorney state otherwise.

He should update his estate plan, simply because getting married now means his wife will inherit all of the community property, if any, and either one-third or one-half of the separate property.
A marriage or divorce ALWAYS means you should consult with a trusts and estates lawyer.
