fifty dollars, a copy of its charter certified by its secretary, and a power of attorney designating
the said secretary of state or the secretary of state's successor in office as the person upon
whom all notices and processes issued by any court of this state may be served in any action or
proceeding relating to any trust, estate, or matter within this state in respect of which such bank
or trust company is acting in any fiduciary capacity with like effect as personal service on such
bank or trust company. Such power of attorney is irrevocable so long as any such liability
remains outstanding against such bank or trust company in this state. Upon receipt of such
