*This document is provided for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. Courts scrutinize irrevocable powers of attorney closely — the "coupled with an interest" requirement is a real legal standard, not just boilerplate language, and a power of attorney that isn't genuinely coupled with an interest may still be revocable regardless of what it says.*
