A durable power of attorney designates in writing an agent (attorney in fact) and contains the words. (This power of attorney shall not be affected by subsequent disability or incapacity of the principal, or This power of attorney shall become effective upon the disability or incapacity of the principal, or similar words showing the intent of the principal that the authority conferred shall be exercisable, notwithstanding the principal's subsequent disability or incapacity.)

This instrument offers three choices for effective dates.
1. Immediately
2. Upon incapacity
3. Immediately when my spouse is acting as my Agent. If my spouse declines, is unable or ceases to serve as Agent, this Power of Attorney becomes effective upon my becoming disabled or incapacitated.

In the event your agent is unable or unwilling to serve a (substitute Agent) is named.

When the principal is (disabled or incapacitated). All acts done by the agent (attorney in fact) (bind the principal and the principal's successor in interest as if the principal were competent and not disabled.) 34-6-103

Great service - it was my first time using the service and really recommend it. Due to COVID-19, my County Recorder's Office is closed and I was able to create the document using their vast templates, notarize it, and upload it into the system. The recording process took about 7 working days which is not bad considering that most people are working remotely. I will share this website and its many resources with my relatives and friends.
