Typically, unless the POA meets the specific requirements of the State in which it is used, it would not be valid in another State. NC has some specific requirements for content in Chapter 32A: Powers of Attorney. But there also are provisions on refusal and potential penalties. I think you need to engage a different legal counsel for a second opinion.
