Texas POA requirements
Key features in Texas
- Required all-caps statutory warning notice (unique to Texas)
- 14 power categories with individual initialing
- Explicit durability statement required by law (not presumed)
- Notary only, no witnesses required
- Five hot powers under §752.052 (creating, amending, revoking, or terminating an inter vivos trust; making gifts; creating or changing rights of survivorship; creating or changing beneficiary designations; and authorizing another person to exercise the granted authority) require the principal to separately initial each on the §752.052 OPTIONAL grant section. Without that initialing, the agent may not exercise these powers even after the 14 standard §752.051 categories are granted.
