Często zadawane pytania
What is a durable power of attorney?
A durable POA remains in effect even if you become mentally incapacitated. Without the durable designation, the POA terminates upon incapacity, which is often when you need it most.
Can a POA be revoked?
Yes. As long as you are mentally competent, you can revoke a POA at any time by providing written notice to the agent and any institutions that have a copy.
