PA Changes Law on Powers of Attorney and Other Probate Code Matters

On July 8, 2016 the Governor signed Senate
Bill 1104 (SB 1104) into law as Act 79. SB 1104 makes broad ranging
amendments to Title 20 (Decedents, Estates and Fiduciaries) of the Pennsylvania
Consolidated Statutes. Included are a number of changes to Pennsylvania laws
regarding powers of attorney.

It is likely that another bill dealing with powers of
attorney will also be enacted in the near
