A South Dakota durable statutory power of attorney form allows a principal to select another person (?agent?) to act in their place for financial-related matters. The designation will last the lifetime of the principal unless revoked.

This power of attorney authorizes another person (your agent) to make decisions concerning your property for you (the principal). Your agent will be able to make decisions and act with respect to your property (including your money) whether or not you are able to act for yourself.

A durable power of attorney may be created at any time by a competent adult. It must properly state your intent to give authority to your agent to make health care decisions should you become incapacitated. It must also be signed by you and two witnesses or a notary public.

A durable power of attorney may be general or limited. A general durable power of attorney may allow your agent to do every act which may legally be done by you. A limited durable power of attorney cover specific events, like selling property, making investments, or making health care decisions.

The Power of Attorney usually expires when you stipulate it does: Generally, in South Dakota, the lifespan of a POA is defined by the terms stated in the POA document. This means that the POA could end on a specified date, when a certain event occurs, or when the principal becomes incapacitated or passes away.
