|
||
|
||
## Text
|
||
|
||
(a) Instruments To Be Given Legal Effect Without Regard to State Law.— A military power of attorney—
|
||
|
||
(1) is exempt from any requirement of form, substance, formality, or recording that is provided for powers of attorney under the laws of a State; and
|
||
|
||
(2) shall be given the same legal effect as a power of attorney prepared and executed in accordance with the laws of the State concerned.
|
||
|
||
(b) Military Power of Attorney.— For purposes of this section, a military power of attorney is any general or special power of attorney that is notarized in accordance with section 1044a of this title or other applicable State or Federal law.
|
||
|
||
(c) Statement To Be Included.— (1) Under regulations prescribed by the Secretary concerned, each military power of attorney shall contain a statement that sets forth the provisions of subsection (a).
|
||
|
||
(2) Paragraph (1) shall not be construed to make inapplicable the provisions of subsection (a) to a military power of attorney that does not include a statement described in that paragraph.
|
||
|
||
(d) State Defined.— In this section, the term “State” includes the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and a possession of the United States.
