Is a durable power of attorney valid after the person dies?

October 31, 2022 By stephenh


A durable power of attorney becomes invalid upon the death of the principle. A durable power of attorney differs from a standard power of attorney in that it continues to be effective even after the principle has become incapacitated. But no power of attorney exists following the death of the principle. In order to act on behalf of a deceased individual, Utah law normally requires the appointment of a personal representative.
