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).

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.

An Alaska revocation of a power of attorney terminates the power of attorney arrangements from a previous agreement where an agent was listed as the financial, healthcare, or any other type of representative acting on behalf of the principal.

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.

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.

If you sign a Power of Attorney, you give another person (your agent) the right to make decisions for you and you give them the authority to carry the decisions out. The form provided here is based upon the Alaska Statutes (AS 13.26. 600-965) and it can be tailored to meet your specific needs.
