§ 5-1503. Modifications of the statutory short form power of attorney.

A power of attorney which satisfies the requirements of paragraphs (a),

(b) and (c) of subdivision one of section 5-1501B and section 5-1513 of

this title is not prevented from being a "statutory short form power of

attorney", by the fact that it also contains additional language at the

section labeled "modifications" which:

1. Eliminates from the statutory short form power of attorney one or

more of the powers enumerated in one or more of the constructional

sections of this title with respect to a subdivision of the statutory

short form power of attorney, affirmatively chosen by the principal; or

2. Supplements one or more of the powers enumerated in one or more of

the constructional sections in this title with respect to a subdivision

of the statutory short form power of attorney, affirmatively chosen by

the principal, by specifically listing additional powers of the agent;

or

3. Makes some additional provision which is not inconsistent with the

other provisions of the statutory short form power of attorney,

including a provision revoking one or more powers of attorney previously

executed by the principal.
