Source: L. 2009: Entire part added, (HB 09-1198), ch. 106, p. 409, § 1, effective April 9.
This section, based on Section 15 of the Uniform Statutory Form Power of Attorney Act, has been substantially updated to reflect changes in the laws governing retirement plans. A significant departure from the Uniform Statutory Form Power of Attorney Act is the deletion of default authority in the agent to waive the right of the principal to be a beneficiary of a joint or survivor annuity ( see Unif. Statutory Form Power of Atty. Act § 15 (1988)). Under this Act, the authority to waive the principal's right to be a beneficiary of a joint and survivor annuity must be given by a specific grant pursuant to Section 15-14-724(1).
