2012 Wyoming Statutes
TITLE 3 - GUARDIAN AND WARD
CHAPTER 5 - DURABLE POWER OF ATTORNEY
3-5-102. Other powers of attorney not revoked until notice of death or disability.
(a) The death, disability or incompetence of any principal who has executed a power of attorney in writing other than a power described by W.S. 3-5-101, does not revoke or terminate the agency as to the attorney in fact, agent or other person who, without actual knowledge of the death, disability or incompetence of the principal, acts in good faith under the power of attorney or agency. Any action so taken, unless otherwise invalid or unenforceable, binds the principal and his heirs, devisees and personal representatives.
(b) An affidavit executed by the attorney in fact or agent stating that at the time of doing an act pursuant to the power of attorney he did not have actual knowledge of the revocation or termination of the power of attorney by death, disability or incompetence, is, in the absence of fraud, conclusive proof of the nonrevocation or nontermination of the power at that time. If the exercise of the power requires execution and delivery of any instrument which is recordable, the affidavit when authenticated for record is likewise recordable.
(c) This section shall not be construed to alter or affect any provision for revocation or termination contained in the power of attorney.
