S. Thompson my true and lawful attorney, for me and in
my name, place and stead and for my use and benefit,
(1) To lease, let, grant, bargain, sell, contract
to sell, convey, exchange, remise, release and dispose
of any real or personal property of which I am now or
hereafter may be possessed or in which I may have any
right, title or interest, including rights of
homestead, for any price or sum and upon such terms and
conditions as to my said attorney may seem proper;
* * * * * * *
I hereby give and grant unto my said attorney full
power and authority freely to do and perform every act
and thing whatsoever requisite and necessary to be done
in and about the premises, as fully to all intents and
purposes, as I might or could do if personally present,
hereby ratifying and confirming all that my said
attorney-in-fact shall lawfully do or cause to be done
by virtue hereof.
On March 12, 1992, pursuant to Mr. Walker’s advice,
decedent, while domiciled in Oregon, executed and delivered to
Ms. Thompson two durable powers of attorney (March 12, 1992,
powers). One was to be recorded, and the other was for Ms.
Thompson to use that same day for matters unrelated to this case.
One of the powers was a standard form (Form No. 853) preprinted
by the Stevens-Ness Law Publishing Co., Portland, Oregon, (March
12, 1992, No. 1 power), and the other was a standard computer-
generated form used by Mr. Walker’s office (March 12, 1992, No. 2
power). Each of the March 12, 1992, powers named Ms. Thompson as
attorney-in-fact. The language of the March 12, 1992, No. 1
power was identical in many but not all respects to the language
