Powers of Attorney in Alaska
Alaska has adopted the Uniform Power of Attorney Act, codified in the Alaska Statutes. Alaska POAs are durable by default and require notarization to be valid.
A separate document is required for healthcare decisions in Alaska, as a financial POA does not extend to medical matters.
