Same Form as Durable POA
In Alaska, a general power of attorney is the same as a durable power of attorney, except that in Section 5, the box marked “This document shall be revoked by my subsequent disability” is marked “Yes.”
Laws
- Durable – A power of attorney is durable if it includes the language “this power of attorney shall become effective upon the incapacity of the principal” or “this power of attorney shall not be affected by the subsequent incapacity of the principal,”[1]
- Incapacity – Incapacity is determined by two physicians who have personally examined the principal and have determined they can no longer manage property or business affairs. This statement must be acknowledged in an affidavit.[2]
- Signing Requirements – Must be notarized.[3]
