I would like to do some planning but want to retire and move to Washington state in about two years. Should I wait or can I get a document that is recognized in Washington as well as in California? Thank you. Karen Sickler

Update Your Profile
A power of attorney would be valid in California and Washington. You should do this now, so that if you needed the power of attorney, then it is in place in case of your incapacity before moving to Washington. It can't protect you if you don't have it in place. But after you move to Washington, I would advise you to update the power of attorney.
