An Act To Amend Title 12 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Durable Powers Of Attorney And Adding A Chapter 49a Thereto Relating To Durable Personal Powers Of Attorney. [HB-455]
This bill does two things.

The bill also adds a new Chapter 49A to Title 12 which provides significant improvements in the creation of a personal power of attorney by ensuring that a principal grants only those authorities (continued...)
