I will, Alex. Thanks! :0-) It's funny that you should mention "turpitude". I've actually spent half a day last Friday listening to two attorneys arguing about what this term encompasses (they were discussing "acts of moral turpitude"). Before then I haven't heard this word used in real life for almost 10 years, and now it's been mentioned twice within a few days. :-)))

Angela, I also defer to your judgment as a court brawler (this is intended as a compliment, for I know you spend a lot of your time on the frontline).
I'm signing off for the day. Hold the fort, Angela!... And let me know your thoughts on the "turpitude" when you have a moment ;)

Angela, No argument. Good search skills... I just suggested a literal translation that closely matches a cliche that seems to be rooted in my subconscious.

There are many standard ways to express the same: Not to undermine yours, Alex, but still:

"necessary to accomplish the purposes of the power of attorney"http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=2&sqi=2&ved=0CB...

"necessary to exercise the rights and powers granted herein" http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=11&ved=0CBUQFjA...
