Answer:
We cannot give legal advice. The following is not a substitute for the advice of a local attorney. But we hope the information will be useful.
Your older power of attorney without the thumbprint is still good, according to our information. The new law would not have revoked existing PoAs - just made the requirement from 2008 onward, for new PoAs. The legal havoc that would have been caused by revoking all preexisting PoAs would have been severe.
