Wyoming § 3-9-110

• Jurisdiction: Wyoming
• Title 03: Guardian and Ward
• Ch. 9: UNIFORM POWER OF ATTORNEY ACT
• Art. 1: General provisions

Text

(a) A power of attorney terminates when the:
(i) Principal dies;
(ii) Principal becomes incapacitated, if the power of
attorney is not durable;
(iii) Principal revokes the power of attorney;
(iv) Power of attorney provides that it terminates;
(v) Purpose of the power of attorney is accomplished;
or
(vi) Principal revokes the agent's authority or the
agent dies, becomes incapacitated or resigns and the power of
attorney does not provide for another agent to act under the
power of attorney.
(b) An agent's authority terminates when:
(i) The principal revokes the authority;
(ii) The agent dies, becomes incapacitated or
resigns;
(iii) An action is filed for the dissolution or
annulment of the agent's marriage to the principal or an action
is filed for legal separation, unless the power of attorney
otherwise provides; or
(iv) The power of attorney terminates.
(c) Unless the power of attorney otherwise provides, an
agent's authority is exercisable until the authority terminates
under subsection (b) of this section, notwithstanding a lapse of
time since the execution of the power of attorney.
(d) Termination of an agent's authority or of a power of
attorney is not effective as to the agent or another person
that, without actual knowledge of the termination, acts in good
faith under the power of attorney. An act so performed, unless
otherwise invalid or unenforceable, binds the principal and the
principal's successors in interest.
(e) Incapacity of the principal of a power of attorney
that is not durable does not revoke or terminate the power of
attorney as to an agent or other person that, without actual
knowledge of the incapacity, acts in good faith under the power
of attorney. An act so performed, unless otherwise invalid or
unenforceable, binds the principal and the principal's
successors in interest.
(f) The execution of a power of attorney does not revoke a
power of attorney previously executed by the principal unless
the subsequent power of attorney provides that the previous
power of attorney is revoked or that all other powers of
attorney are revoked.
