Hi Susan, generally a Durable Power of Attorney usually is legally valid as soon as it is properly executed, (signed, proper witness, notary, etc). Other times, it is legally valid according to the a date specified in the document. I do strongly recommend you get your documents reviewed by a lawyer, just make sure you didn't miss anything. If you contact our office, we will review it at no-cost to you. Just shoot me an e-mail at [email protected].
