GENERAL POWER OF ATTORNEY

PREAMBLE: This document is a MILITARY POWER OF ATTORNEY prepared pursuant to Title 10 United States Code, Section

1044(b), and executed by a person authorized to receive legal assistance from the military. Federal law exempts this power of

attorney from any requirement of form, substance, formality, or recording that is prescribed for powers of attorney by the laws of a

state, the District of Columbia, or a territory, commonwealth, or possession of the United States. Federal law specifies that this

power of attorney shall be given the same legal effect as a power of attorney prepared and executed in accordance with the laws of

the jurisdiction in which it is presented.

KNOW ALL PERSONS BY THESE PRESENTS: That I, _____________________________________________, currently residing

at _____________________________________________________________________________________, do hereby appoint

_____________________________________________ my true and lawful attorney-in-fact to manage and conduct all my affairs

and act in all matters in my name and on my behalf. Such acts shall include the authority:

To lease, sell, use, establish title to, register, insure, transfer, mortgage, maintain, manage, pledge, exchange, or otherwise

dispose of or encumber any and all of my property, real, personal, or mixed, including motor vehicles of any kind, and to execute and

deliver good and sufficient deeds or other instruments for the lease, conveyance, mortgage, maintenance, or transfer of the same.

To buy, receive, lease, accept, or otherwise acquire in my name and for my account, property, real, personal, or mixed

upon such terms, considerations, and conditions as my attorney-in-fact shall deem appropriate.

To transact all of my business on my behalf, including entering into contracts and the making of such investments as my

attorney-in-fact shall deem sound.

To institute and prosecute, or to appear and defend, or to settle, any claims or litigation involving my interests or me. This

authority shall include, but not be limited to, the authority to present a claim against the United States for damage to or loss of

personal property.

To prepare, execute, sign, and file all tax returns and to receive and negotiate all tax refund checks.

To execute all documents needed for the travel of my family members and transportation or storage of my property, as

authorized by law and military regulations; to sign for and clear government or other quarters in the best interests of my family

members and in accordance with law and military regulations.

To demand, act to recover, and receive all sums of money which are now or will become owing or belonging to me, and to

institute accounts on my behalf, and to deposit, draw upon, or expend such funds of mine as are necessary in furtherance of the

powers granted herein. This authority shall include, but not be limited to, the authority to receive, endorse, cash, or deposit

negotiable instruments made payable to me and drawn upon the Treasurer, or other fiscal officer or depository, of the United States.

Generally, to do, execute, and perform any other act, deed, matter, or thing, that in the opinion of my attorney-in-fact ought

to be done, executed, or performed, in conjunction with this power of attorney.

NOTWITHSTANDING any language to the contrary in this instrument, my attorney-in-fact is specifically NOT granted the

following powers:

To cancel or change the beneficiary of any policy of life insurance owned by me.

To exercise any rights or powers with respect to any person, matter, transaction, or property in my name or in

my custody as a trustee, custodian, personal representative, or other fiduciary capacity for someone else.

I hereby give and grant unto my attorney-in-fact full power and authority to do and perform each and every act and matter

concerning my estate, property, and affairs as fully and effectually to all intents and purposes as I could do legally if I were present.

I hereby authorize my attorney-in-fact to indemnify and hold harmless any third party who accepts and acts under or in

accordance with this power of attorney.

I intend for this power of attorney to be a DURABLE power of attorney. This power of attorney will continue to be effective

if I become disabled, incapacitated, or incompetent. All acts done by my attorney-in-fact hereunder shall have the same effect and

inure to the benefit of and bind myself and my heirs as if I were competent, and not disabled, incapacitated, or incompetent.
