Cohen cl Date: Tue, Oct 3, 2017 at 9:22 AM Subject: RE: [External] To: "jeffrey E." <[email protected]> I'm doing some work on the POA. It has been executed by Leon but not acknowledged by the appointees (as required by NY law). It is being held in PW's safe until such time as Leon requests its release or such time as he becomes incompetent. The POA gives very broad authority to the appointees, John Hannan and Richard Ressler, who must act jointly. Glad to hear any thoughts you have. From: Jeffrey E.
