Practical Issues Concerning Power of Attorney Transactions, Texas Bankers Association and the Southwest Association of Bank Counsel

10.07.21

David F. Johnson presented his paper “Practical Issues Concerning Power of Attorney Transactions” to the Annual Legal Conference 2021 hosted by the Texas Bankers Association and the Southwest Association of Bank Counsel on October 7, 2021. This presentation addressed many of the common issues that financial institutions face when a customer’s agent under a power of attorney document wants to consummate a transaction. The issues discussed were the formation of a valid power of attorney document; termination of the agency; the agent’s powers; springing powers; a financial institution’s right to an agent’s certification, attorney opinion, English translation, doctor’s note, and the protections afforded a financial institution for requesting same; a financial institution’s duty to participate in the transaction and the ability to deny the transaction; elder abuse; and the duty to report financial exploitation.

Search Tips:

You may use the wildcard symbol (*) as a root expander.  A search for "anti*" will find not only "anti", but also "anti-trust", "antique", etc.

Entering two terms together in a search field will behave as though an "OR" is being used.  For example, entering "Antique Motorcars" as a Client Name search will find results with either word in the Client Name.

Operators

AND and OR may be used in a search.  Note: they must be capitalized, e.g., "Project AND Finance." 

The + and - sign operators may be used.  The + sign indicates that the term immediately following is required, while the - sign indicates to omit results that contain that term. E.g., "+real -estate" says results must have "real" but not "estate".

To perform an exact phrase search, surround your search phrase with quotation marks.  For example, "Project Finance".

Searches are not case sensitive.
