Houston, TX asked in Divorce and Estate Planning for Louisiana

Q: Special Durable POA was issued in Texas in 2009 as a result of a divorce. What do I need to do to have it valid in LA

My ex-husband will likely not want to sign a new one as his equity is gone as a result of expenses paid by me.

The special durable POA is only to sell and manage jointly owned property after husband refused to participate in ROAD TO HOME program. Failing to act in the interest of both parties. Which essentially left us with a hurricane ravaged home.

A: Not enough information to answer your question. Can't tell why a durable power of attorney would result from a divorce; that's something that would usually result prior to surgery.
