Definition of an Advance Directive A written instruction, such as a living will or durable power of attorney for health care, recognized under state law (whether statutory or as recognized by the courts of the State), relating to the provision of health care when the individual is incapacitated.

An Alaska minor children power of attorney (PG-700) assigns an individual other than a legal parent or guardian to manage all of the affairs for the principal's children and/or dependents for up to one (1) year.

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.
