   September 1, 1992, shall be executed pursuant to the provisions of the
   Uniform Durable Power of Attorney Act.
   
   E. A power of attorney executed in another state shall be considered
   valid for purposes of the Uniform Durable Power of Attorney Act if the
   power of attorney and the execution of the power of attorney
   substantially comply with the requirements of the Uniform Durable
   Power of Attorney Act.
   
   F. Nothing in this section shall be construed to affect powers of
   attorney established pursuant to common law.
