Cal. Prob. Code § 3720 — Absentee’s Power of Attorney is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.

If an absentee executed a power of attorney that expires during the period that occasions absentee status, the power of attorney continues in full force and effect until 30 days after the absentee status is terminated. Any person who acts in reliance upon the power of attorney when accompanied by a copy of a certificate of missing status is not liable for relying and acting upon the power of attorney.
