(1) (Deleted by amendment, L. 2009, (HB 09-1198), ch. 106, p. 422, § 9, effective
January 1, 2010.)
(2) Any agency created by an agency instrument continues until the principal ceased to
exist, regardless of the length of time that elapses, unless the agency instrument states an earlier
termination date. The principal may amend or revoke the agency instrument at any time and in
any manner that is communicated to the agent or to any other person who is related to the subject
matter of the agency. Any agent who acts in good faith on behalf of the principal within the
scope of an agency instrument is not liable for any acts that are no longer authorized by reason
of an amendment or revocation of the agency instrument until the agent receives actual notice of
the amendment or revocation. An agency may be temporarily continued under the conditions
specified in section 15-14-607.
(3) (Deleted by amendment, L. 2009, (HB 09-1198), ch. 106, p. 422, § 9, effective
January 1, 2010.)
(4) Any agent acting on behalf of a principal under an agency instrument has the right to
resign under the terms and conditions stated in the agency instrument. If the agency instrument
does not specify the terms and conditions of resignation, an agent may resign by notifying the
principal, or the principal's receiver, custodian, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, or
similar representative if one has been appointed, in writing of the agent's resignation. The agent
shall also notify in writing the successor agent, if any, and all reasonably ascertainable third
parties who are affected by the resignation. In all cases, any party who receives notice of the
resignation of an agent is bound by such notice.
