On August 9, 2024, Governor Pritzker
signed Illinois Public Act 103-0994 into law, which amended the Illinois Power

Attorney, as well as when it would be unreasonable for a third-party to not
honor an otherwise properly executed Power of Attorney for Property. Don’t miss
this panel presentation in which our speakers discuss the legislative process,
the compromises made to reach the resulting language, how financial Powers of
Attorney are reviewed by bank counsel, and how this legislative amendment will
affect financial institutions’ practices in reviewing financial Powers of
Attorney.
