A ?Durable? Power of Attorney enables the Agent to act for the Principal even after the Principal is not mentally competent or physically able to make decisions. The ?Durable? Power of Attorney may be used immediately, and is effective until it is revoked by the Principal, or until the Principal's death.

A Power of Attorney (PoA) can be revoked while the principal is mentally sound. If the principal passes away, it is automatically canceled. To revoke a PoA, the principal must provide written notice to the agent, sign the document in the presence of a notary public, and deliver it to the agent.

Alaska Advance Health Care Directive An advance health care directive allows you to name someone else to make health care decisions for you if you are unable to make your wishes known, as well as allowing you to give instructions in advance about some treatments.

You can limit the time your agent will have power to act on your behalf or you can make the appointment ?durable,? which means your agent will have powers even if you become disabled. You can also indicate that the appointment will be revoked upon your incapacity.

File a Copy With the Recorder's Office If you granted the power to deal with real estate to your agent, you should also file a copy of your POA in the land records office (called the Recorder's Office in Alaska).

Also, the Power of Attorney is not valid unless the principal signs the POA form in front of a notary. If the principal is mentally competent but unable to sign his or her name, she can sign with an ?X? or direct another person to sign on her behalf. But again, this must be done in front of a notary.
