Generally yes. Oregon accepts out-of-state POAs in practice but doesn't have UPOAA § 302 or an explicit reciprocity statute, so acceptance rests on common-law principles.ORS 127.025; ORS 127.035Verified Jul 14, 2026 Oregon did not adopt UPOAA; no UPOAA § 302 equivalent. No specific interstate recognition statute. ORS 127.025 (cannot refuse based on passage of time) and ORS 127.035 (good-faith reliance protection) provide general third-party acceptance framework. Note: ORS 127.045 governs agent duty, not choice of law. The document portability tool shows recognition by document type.
