y ~ • 20110459E recognize those about me, and my physical and mental condition cannot be significantly improved by further treatment, then I request that no treatment intended solely to prolong my life be applied, and that my life be permitted to end without medical interference. It should be understood that this statement is not intended as a complete rejection of medical treatment intended to relieve pain, or sedation useful in providing for my care during a terminal illness, but it is intended to prevent the application of oxygen, intravenous feeding and similar treatments intended solely for maintenance, when no significant possibility of improvement in my condition is foreseen. It is my wish that no treatment be applied to me when I have reached the condition hereinbefore described, when that treatment is intended merely to support and prolong my life, and not to cure me or improve my condition. 18. To Do All Other Things Necessary in Connection Herewith. In general to do all other acts, deeds, matters, and things whatsoever in or about my estate, property, and affairs, or to concur with persons j ointly interested with myself therein in doing all acts, deeds, matters, and things herein, either particularly or generally described, as fully and effectually to all intents and purposes as I could do in my own proper person if personally present, it being my intent to grant to my said attorney a general power to act for me and in my behalf, and not a limited or special power, limited to the specific acts herein described. 19. Power of Attorney Effective Notwithstanding Disability of Principal; Continues in Effect After Principal's Death Until Notice. Pursuant to the provisions of the Nebraska Probate Code, I declare that this power of attorney shall become effective immediately and shall not be affected by my disability or incapacity, and that the authority granted herein shall continue during any period while I am disabled or incapacitated. The term "disability or incapacity" shall mean my inability to make or communicate responsible decisions concerning my property or person, and disability or incapacity commences upon certification by my attending physician that I am unable to handle my affairs. Pursuant to Nebraska Probate Code, all authority conferred herein shall continue after my death until notice of my death shall have been received by my said attorney so that said attorney has actual knowledge of the fact that I have died. Any action taken in good faith by said attorney during any period while it is uncertain whether I am alive, before he/she received actual knowledge of my death, or, in any event, taken during the period while I am disabled or incapacitated, shall be as valid as if I were alive, competent, and not disabled. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have signed and acknowledged this instrument this Sday of rte, , 2006. Evelyn I. Nel 4
