Official summary

Legislative Counsel’s Digest (official, as of the latest version). Written by nonpartisan legislative staff; reproduced verbatim.

Existing law sets forth the law of agency and powers of attorney, including durable powers of attorney. The Uniform Statutory Form Power of Attorney Act establishes the procedures by which a person may appoint another person as their agent with various powers over property, business, estate, trust, and other decisions, and sets forth a statutory form to be used for granting power of attorney.

This bill would revise and recast the statutory form for power of attorney to, among other things, allow the appointment of a successor agent or agents and authorize the individual to nominate the agent or co-agents to be appointed as the conservator or co-conservators of the individual’s estate. The bill would include in the statutory form options for appointment of attorney for authority over digital assets, including authority over a catalogue of electronic communications without the content of the electronic communications sent or received, authority over the content of electronic communications sent or received, or authority over a catalogue of electronic communications and the content of electronic communications sent or received. The bill would specify that the language granting powers in a statutory form power of attorney with respect to digital assets, catalogue of electronic communications, and content of electronic communications has the same meanings as set forth in the Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act.
