Alaska Durable Power of Attorney

A durable power of attorney stays in effect if you (the principal) later become incapacitated, which is exactly when your agent is needed most. In Alaska, a durable power of attorney generally must be signed and acknowledged before a notary public (Alaska Stat. 13.26.600).

This template collects the principal, the agent, the powers granted, and the durability language, then produces a Alaska durable power of attorney ready to sign, in Word and PDF.
