Did you know that any DPAHC signed in California before 1992 had a seven-year term limit? For example, if you signed a DPAHC in 1990, it has now expired (there's an exception for people who are incapacitated at the end of the term limit). Also, even some DPAHCs signed after 1991 contained language that makes them expire in seven years. Our suggestions:

	Check your DPAHC, and make sure that it hasn't expired, or isn't about to expire.
	While you're at it, better check that your circumstances haven't change in a way that makes your DPAHC or any other planning document out of date (this includes checking the agents you have named in your powers of attorney, the trustees named in any trust, and beneficiaries on your life insurance, retirement plans, IRAs, etc.).
	Keep your planning documents up to date!
