  • 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 military power of attorney under this Chapter does not empower the agent to modify or revoke a trust created by the principal unless that power is expressly granted by the power of attorney.  If a military power of attorney under this Chapter empowers the agent to modify or revoke a trust created by the principal, the trust may be modified or revoked by the agent only as provided in the trust instrument.
