§ 1337.60.

A document substantially in the following form may be used to create a statutory form

power of attorney that has the meaning and effect prescribed by sections 1337.21 to 1337.64 of the Revised Code . [INSERT NAME OF JURISDICTION] STATUTORY FORM POWER OF ATTORNEY IMPORTANT INFORMATION This power of attorney authorizes another person (your agent) to make decisions concerning

your property for you (the principal).  Your agent will be able to make decisions and act with respect to your property

(including your money) whether or not you are able to act for yourself.  The meaning of authority over subjects listed on this form is explained in the Uniform

Power of Attorney Act ( sections 1337.21 to 1337.64 of the Revised Code ). This power of attorney does not authorize the agent to make health-care decisions

for you. You should select someone you trust to serve as your agent.  Unless you specify otherwise, generally the agent's authority will continue until

you die or revoke the power of attorney or the agent resigns or is unable to act for

you. Your agent is entitled to reasonable compensation unless you state otherwise in the

Special Instructions. This form provides for designation of one agent.  If you wish to name more than one agent you may name a coagent in the Special Instructions.  Coagents are not required to act together unless you include that requirement in

the Special Instructions. If your agent is unable or unwilling to act for you, your power of attorney will end

unless you have named a successor agent.  You may also name a second successor agent. This power of attorney becomes effective immediately unless you state otherwise in

the Special Instructions. ACTIONS REQUIRING EXPRESS AUTHORITY Unless expressly authorized and initialed by me in the Special Instructions, this

power of attorney does not grant authority to my agent to do any of the following: (1) Create a trust; (2) Amend, revoke, or terminate an inter vivos trust, even if specific authority to do

so is granted to the agent in the trust agreement; (3) Make a gift; (4) Create or change rights of survivorship; (5) Create or change a beneficiary designation; (6) Delegate authority granted under the power of attorney; (7) Waive the principal's right to be a beneficiary of a joint and survivor annuity,

including a survivor benefit under a retirement plan; (8) Exercise fiduciary powers that the principal has authority to delegate. CAUTION:  Granting any of the above eight powers will give your agent the authority

to take actions that could significantly reduce your property or change how your property

is distributed at your death. If you have questions about the power of attorney or the authority you are granting

to your agent, you should seek legal advice before signing this form. DESIGNATION OF AGENT I, ......................................
