The Alaska limited power of attorney form gives your agent only the powers you write on its purpose lines. If you want broad authority over your finances to pass to an agent, see our Alaska general power of attorney form instead.
An Alaska limited power of attorney ends when the principal revokes it, when its purpose is accomplished, when the principal dies, or when the document's own terms say it terminates.[3.1] Two more situations end it as well.
An agent who wants to resign gives notice to the principal. If the principal is incapacitated, the notice also goes to the conservator or guardian, if one has been appointed, and to a coagent or successor agent.
If there is no conservator, guardian, coagent or successor agent, the agent gives notice to one of these:
The document may provide a different method of resignation.[3.1]
Ending the document does not undo every action taken under it. If someone acts in good faith without knowledge that the power of attorney has ended, the action binds the principal and the principal's heirs, devisees and personal representatives. The exception is an action that is otherwise invalid or unenforceable.[3.1]
Death or incapacity works the same way. It does not revoke or terminate the agency as to an agent or another person who acts in good faith without actual knowledge of the death or incapacity.[3.1]
Read the Termination Date choices on the form before you initial one. The incapacity choice makes the power of attorney end when you are determined to be incapacitated.

Page 1 covers the principal, the agent, the limited purpose, the effective date and the first termination choice. Page 2 holds the other termination choices, the successor agent and your signature. Page 3 holds the notary's certificate.

Yes, when the principal is physically unable to sign. The principal directs another individual to sign the principal's name, in the principal's conscious presence.[3.2]
If the principal does not say when it starts, it takes effect on the date of the principal's signature. The document can instead set a future date or a future event.[1]
Unless the document says otherwise, the agent accepts by exercising authority or performing duties as an agent, or by any other assertion or conduct that shows acceptance.[2]
Yes. Unless the document provides a different method, the agent resigns by giving notice to the principal. If the principal is incapacitated, the notice also goes to:
Yes, unless the document is durable. Even a document that is not durable stays effective as to a person who acts in good faith under it without actual knowledge of the incapacity.[3.1]
