Terms Used In Texas Estates Code 752.002

  • Power of attorney: A written instrument which authorizes one person to act as another's agent or attorney. The power of attorney may be for a definite, specific act, or it may be general in nature. The terms of the written power of attorney may specify when it will expire. If not, the power of attorney usually expires when the person granting it dies. Source: OCC

A power of attorney is valid with respect to meeting the requirements for a statutory durable power of attorney regardless of the fact that:
(1) one or more of the categories of optional powers listed in the form prescribed by § 752.051 are not initialed; or
(2) the form includes specific limitations on, or additions to, the powers of the attorney in fact or agent.
