4129
. (a) In a springing power of attorney, the principal may
designate one or more persons who, by a written declaration under

specified event or contingency has occurred. The principal may
designate the attorney-in-fact or another person to perform this
function, either alone or jointly with other persons.
(b) A springing power of attorney containing the designation

persons designated in the power of attorney execute a written
declaration under penalty of perjury that the specified event or
contingency has occurred, and any person may act in reliance on the
written declaration without liability to the principal or to any
other person, regardless of whether the specified event or
contingency has actually occurred.
(c) This section applies to a power of attorney whether executed
before, on, or after January 1, 1991, if the power of attorney
contains the designation described in subdivision (a).
(d) This section does not provide the exclusive method by which a
power of attorney may be limited to take effect on the occurrence of
a specified event or contingency.
