Indiana § 30-5-11-1

• Jurisdiction: Indiana
• Art. 5: POWERS OF ATTORNEY
• Ch. 11: Electronic Powers of Attorney

Text

The purpose of this chapter is to provide rules
for the valid execution, amendment, and revocation of powers of
attorney that are prepared and signed electronically. This chapter shall
be applied fairly and flexibly so that a principal whose identity can be
verified, who has capacity, and who is acting free from undue duress
and undue influence may execute a valid electronic power of attorney
consistent with the principal's intent. If an electronic power of attorney
is electronically signed by the principal and is maintained as an
electronic record or as a complete converted copy in compliance with
this chapter, the normal presumptions that apply to a traditional paper
power of attorney apply to the electronic power of attorney.
