illegal power of attorney ?

Are there public records to look up to see if someone really has--name removed--POA. In this case no paper work has ever been shown to prove they do.

DPOAs can be recorded with the County Auditor/Recorder, but not always. In Pierce County those records are available (but hard to search) on the County's website, or you can go look it up at the Annex.

Just because it is not recorded does not mean it doesn't exist, though.

But a third party relying on a DPOA has an absolute right to review the document.

Hope this helps. Elizabeth Powell
