Alaska Power of Attorney Forms

Use our Alaska Power of Attorney form to let someone make legal and financial decisions for you.

Updated May 16, 2022

In Alaska, a power of attorney is a legal document that gives someone else (called an “agent”) the authority to make decisions for you regarding certain medical or financial/personal affairs.

Your power of attorney must be created in accordance with the requirements of the Alaska Statutes, Section 13.26.595 et seq.

There are several different types of power of attorney that you can complete depending on what type of power you want to give your agent.

Alaska Power of Attorney Documents

Alaska General/Financial Power of Attorney

A general power of attorney will convey broad powers to another person, and those powers can be specifically limited to just a few issues. It is also sometimes referred to as a financial power of attorney, as many of the matters addressed will relate to economic issues.

alaska medical power of attorney form

Alaska Medical Power of Attorney

The Alaska Health Care Decisions Act governs medical powers of attorney. Under this Act, you can designate someone else to make health care decisions on your behalf if you do not have the capacity to make your own choices.

You do not have “capacity” when you cannot effectively receive and evaluate information, make decisions, or communicate your health care decisions to your health care professional.

As part of your Alaska medical power of attorney, you can allow someone to make all of your health care decisions, or you can limit their ability to address only specific circumstances or decisions.

As a rule, most powers of attorney documents are not durable in Alaska unless you explicitly note within the document that they are durable.

Alaska DMV Power of Attorney

You can also create a power of attorney just for the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) in Alaska. An official Alaska state DMV POA will allow someone else to sign documents on your behalf related to:

  • Purchasing a vehicle
  • Selling a vehicle
  • Applying for a title or registration, and
  • Transferring vehicle ownership.

How to Get Power of Attorney in Alaska

To be legally valid in Alaska, your power of attorney form must be completed according to the requirements in Section 13.26.600 of the Alaska Statutes.

Once you and your agent fill out your power of attorney form, sign the form, and acknowledge your signature in front of a notary public, it will become legally binding. If you’re unable to sign, you can direct someone else to sign for you in the presence of the notary.

All the forms on this page comply with this section of the Alaska Statutes.

Alaska Power of Attorney Requirements

Ensure your power of attorney meets all the requirements outlined in the Alaska Statutes (AS §13.26.600-13.26.645).

  1. The power of attorney form must contain the following information:
    • The name and address of the principal and agent(s)
    • The date of execution and the principal’s signature
    • What powers are given to the agent
    • When the agent’s powers start and end
  2. If you assign multiple agents, the form must indicate whether they should act jointly or separately to make decisions
  3. The POA form must be acknowledged before a notary public

If you don’t state that the power of attorney is durable, it will be automatically revoked if you become incapacitated.
