Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Oregon

If a family trust, last will and durable power of attorney for health care (probate Code Section 4771) is from California and they now live in the state of Oregon is it still valid ?

Also, if I am a first alternative Co-agent do I have the athority to get medical information from the doctors without the premission of the primary agent? The document reads:

Any alternative agent you designate will be able to make the same health care decisions as the agent you designated in Para. 1, in the event that agent is unable or ineligible to act as your agent.

Or does this statement mean I am only allowed to get information from the doctors if the primary agen is deems unable?

The estate planning documents remain valid in Oregon if they were valid in California at the time they were executed.
