§ 30-5-11-1. Purpose of chapter; presumptions
Sec. 1. The purpose of this chapter is to provide rules for the valid execution, amendment, and revocation of powers of attorney that are prepared and signed electronically. This chapter shall be applied fairly and flexibly so that a principal whose identity can be verified, who has capacity, and who is acting free from undue duress and undue influence may execute a valid electronic power of attorney consistent with the principal's intent. If an electronic power of attorney is electronically signed by the principal and is maintained as an electronic record or as a complete converted copy in compliance with this chapter, the normal presumptions that apply to a traditional paper power of attorney apply to the electronic power of attorney.
As added by P.L.40-2018, SEC.4.
