ing the affairs of a dissolved partnership must be signed by all of the former partners. In case some of the partners are dead, their legal representatives must sign in their stead. (See paragraph XVIII.) If however, under the laws of the particular State, the surviving partners at the time of the execution of the power of attorney have exclusive right to the control and possession of the firm's assets for the purpose of winding up its affairs, their signatures alone will be sufficient. If only the surviving partners sign the power of attorney, a copy of the pertinent provisions of the State law under which they claim authority, exclusive of the legal representatives of the deceased partners, should be noted and citation given thereto. XVI. Dissolved corporation. If a liquidating trustee, or trustee under dissolution, has been appointed, or if a trustee derives authority under a statute of the State in which the corporation was organized the power of attorney should be executed by such trustee. If there is more than one trustee, all must join unless it is established that less than all have authority to act in the premises. The power of attorney must be accompanied by a copy of the instrument under which the trustee derives his authority, properly authenticated, or if the authority is derived under a State statute, the statute should be cited and quoted, and an affidavit by a third party, setting forth the facts required by the statute as a precedent to the vesting of the authority in said trustee must be furnished. It must also appear in the case of any trustee that his authority has not been terminated. If there is no trustee, then a power of attorney executed before a notary public by a sufficient number of individuals to make up a representation of a majority in the voting stock of the corporation at the date of dissolution will be accepted for purposes of conference and correspondence relating to the tax liability in the particular case. Such instrument must show the total number of outstanding shares of voting stock at the date of dissolution and the number held by each signatory to the power of attorney. The instrument must also contain positive averments as to the nonexistence of any trustee, and the date of dissolution must appear. XVII. Insolvent taxpayer. A certificate from the court having jurisdiction over the insolvent should be furnished showing the appointment and qualification of the trustee or receiver, and it should appear that the authority has not terminated. In cases pending before a district court of the United States an authenticated copy of the order approving the bond of the trustee will meet this requirement. If an attorney has been appointed under authority of court for the trustee or receiver, a copy of the court order appointing such attorney (where he is to represent the trustee) should be furnished. If no attorney has been appointed, the trustee or receiver should execute the power of attorney, the acknowledgment or witness ing thereof to be the same as in the case of an individual, and the above-described evidence showing the appointment of the trustee or receiver furnished therewith. If the trustee or receiver does not wish to appoint an attorney, he will be recognized upon establishing his authority in the manner above described. XVIII. Deceased taxpayer. The executor or administrator should execute the power of attorney, which must be accompanied by a short-form certificate (or authenticated copies of letters testamentary or letters of administration) showing that his authority is in full force and effect at the time such evidence is submitted. The executor or administrator will be recognized in his own right if he does not wish to appoint an attorney or agent, upon submission of the above-described court certificate, and such executor or administrator is not required to be enrolled to practice. In the event that the executor has been discharged and a trustee under the will is acting, the power of attorney must come from the trustee, and evidence of the discharge of the executor and of the appointment of the trustee must be submitted with the power of attorney. In such cases, where the executor is discharged and the estate is distributed to the residuary legatees, the power of attorney must come from the residuary legatee or legatees, and be accompanied by a statement from the court certifying to the discharge of the executor and naming the residuary legatees and indicating the proper share to which each is entitled. In the event that the decedent died intestate and the administrator had been discharged or none was ever appointed, the power of attorney must come from the distributees and be accompanied by evidence of the discharge of the administrator, if one had been appointed, and affidavits and such other evidence as can be adduced tending to show the relationship to the deceased of the signatories to the power of attorney and the right of each of them to the respective shares claimed under the law of the domicile of the deceased. XIX. Guardians and other fiduciaries appointed by a court of record. The power of attorney should be executed by the fiduciary and must be accompanied by a court certificate or court order showing that such fiduclary has been appointed and that his ap/pointment has not been terminated. XX. Trustee under deed, declaration, etc. Powers of attorney must be executed by the trustee and be accompanied by documentary evidence of the authority of the trustee to act. Such evidence may be either a copy of the trust instrument, properly certified, or a certified copy of extracts from the trust instrument, showing a. Date of instrument. b. That it is or is not of record in any court. c. The beneficiaries. d. The appointment of the trustee, the authority granted, and such other information as may be necessary to show that such authority extends to, Federal tax matters. e. That the trust has not been terminated, and that the trustee appointed thereby is still acting. Self-serving affidavits by the trustee in this connection are not acceptable. In the event that the trustee appointed in the original trust instrument is no longer acting and has been replaced by another trustee, documentary evidence of the appointment of the new trustee must be submitted. In cases where there are more than one trustee appointed, all must join, unless it is shown that less than all have authority to act. XXI. Checks in payment of refunds. The Bureau is not bound to deliver any check in payment of refund of internal-revenue taxes, penalties, or interest to a representative of any taxpayer acting under authority evidenced by a power of attorney. However, it will be the general policy of the Bureau to mail such checks in care of an enrolled attorney or agent who has filed power of attorney from the principal, specifically authorizing him to receive but not to indorse such check, provided that such power of attorney shall have been filed in sufficient time for the section or division preparing the certificate of overassessment to show thereon the mailing address as "care of" the attorney or agent. Where an attorney or agent has more than one address, request to mail the check to another address than is shown in the power of attorney will not be granted unless the address shown in the power of attorney is no longer that of the attorney or agent. In the event that a power of attorney is filed specifically authorizing more than one attorney or agent to receive checks on the taxpayer's behalf, and such attorneys or agents have different addresses, the Bureau will not mail the check in care of any of the attorneys or agents named in the power of attorney but will mail the check direct to the taxpayer, unless a statement is furnished, signed by all of the attorneys or agents named in the power of attorney, requesting that the check be mailed in care of one of their number. Furthermore, it will be the policy of the Bureau not to mail checks in payment of refunds to an attorney or agent who holds authority to receive such check by reason of a substitute power of attorney obtained from the attorney or agent designated by the taxpayer. Where there is a contest between members of a dissolved firm or between two or more attorneys or agents acting under the same power of attorney as to which one is entitled to prosecute a matter pending before the Bureau or to receive a draft, warrant, or check, the client only shall thereafter be recognized, unless the members or survivors of the dissolved firm, or the contesting attorneys or agents, file an agreement signed by all designating which of them shall be entitled to prosecute such matter or to receive the (g) Description of forms.
