Alaska Financial Power of Attorney

ALASKA FINANCIAL POWER OF ATTORNEY

This is a custom financial power of attorney executed under AS 13.26.600. It uses the authority categories in Alaska's statutory form at § 13.26.645. Complete every election carefully. Each category initialed below incorporates the corresponding meaning in AS 13.26.665 as a term of this instrument, except as limited by the special instructions. Do not add commercial-contract terms such as arbitration, a jury waiver, a fiduciary liability cap, or a mandatory cure period without Alaska counsel; those terms can conflict with protective remedies and the agent's statutory duties.

1. Principal and Agent

I, [PRINCIPAL NAME], of [ADDRESS], appoint:

Primary agent: [NAME / ADDRESS / PHONE / EMAIL]

Successor agent: [NAME / ADDRESS / PHONE / EMAIL]

Second successor agent: [NAME / ADDRESS / PHONE / EMAIL]

Optional Co-Agents

I appoint [NAME] and [NAME] as co-agents.

Initial one:

_____ Each co-agent may act independently.

_____ Co-agents must act jointly.

If both co-agents are named and neither option is initialed, they must act jointly under this instrument. This matches the default for Alaska's statutory form in AS 13.26.660(1).

2. Grant of General Authority

Initial each subject you grant. The meaning and scope of an initialed subject are those set out for that category in AS 13.26.665, incorporated here by reference and subject to the limits you write below. An uninitialed subject is not granted. Initialing "all other matters" grants the authority described in AS 13.26.665(o), so use it only if intended.

Special limits on general authority:

[____________________________________________________________]

3. Specific Authority That Must Be Expressly Granted

The agent does not receive an authority below unless the Principal initials it. Each selection can materially change the Principal's ownership or estate plan and should be reviewed by Alaska estate-planning counsel. These express grants track the optional specific-authority choices in AS 13.26.645.

Gift and Estate-Plan Instructions

AS 13.26.665(q) limits the default gift authority in the statutory form. For this instrument, a checked gift grant incorporates those limits unless the instructions below lawfully provide otherwise. State permitted recipients, purposes, amounts or tax standard, treatment of the agent, and consistency with the existing estate plan.

4. Special Instructions

Use this section to restrict authority, require accountings, identify advisers, address compensation, protect dependents, preserve an estate plan, or provide transaction-specific directions.

[____________________________________________________________]

[____________________________________________________________]

Agent compensation: ☐ No compensation ☐ Reasonable compensation ☐ Other: [________]

Accounting recipient and frequency: [________________________________]

5. Effective Date

Initial one:

_____ This power of attorney is effective on the date I sign it.

_____ This power of attorney becomes effective upon my incapacity, established as follows: [________________________________].

Person or method authorized to determine that the event occurred: [________________________________]

Do not use an incapacity trigger until counsel confirms that the proof method, access to medical information, and any affidavit requirements for a statutory-form power under AS 13.26.680 will work in practice.

6. Effect of Incapacity and Duration

Initial one after Alaska counsel confirms the intended result under Alaska Stat. §§ 13.26.620(a)(2) and 13.26.675(a). If you chose effectiveness upon incapacity above, choose the first line here; the second line would defeat that choice.

_____ This power of attorney shall not be affected by my subsequent incapacity.

_____ This power of attorney terminates if I become incapacitated.

Optional expiration date or event: [________________________________]

Unless the instrument lawfully provides otherwise, death, revocation, and other termination events are governed by current Alaska law. A person acting without actual knowledge of termination may have statutory protection; notify the agent and known relying institutions promptly after revocation.

7. Nomination of Conservator or Guardian

If a court later considers a protective proceeding, I nominate the following persons for the court's consideration under AS 13.26.650:

Conservator of my estate: [NAME / ADDRESS]

Guardian of my person: [NAME / ADDRESS]

This nomination does not itself appoint a guardian or conservator and does not replace a health-care directive.

8. Reliance and Copies

A copy of this acknowledged power of attorney may be relied on to the extent current Alaska law permits. A person asked to accept it may request an agent certification, English translation, or opinion of counsel as current law allows.

Institutions or persons to receive copies:

[____________________________________________________________]

For real-estate use, confirm recording and title requirements for the transaction and recording district. To revoke a recorded transfer-on-death deed through this grant, record this power of attorney unless the deed itself expressly grants the agent that power; the revocation instrument must also meet AS 13.48.070's acknowledgment and recording requirements before the Principal's death.

9. Principal's Signature and Acknowledgment

I understand that this document grants broad financial authority. I sign voluntarily and intend the selections and special instructions above to control.

Principal signature: ____________________________________

Printed name: [________________________________]

Date: [________________________________]

Alaska Notarial Acknowledgment

State of Alaska
Judicial District of [________________]

The foregoing instrument was acknowledged before me on [DATE] by [PRINCIPAL NAME].

Notary public: ____________________________________

Printed name: [________________________________]

My commission expires: [________________________________]

If the Principal is physically unable to sign, another individual may sign the Principal's name at the Principal's direction in the Principal's conscious presence under AS 13.26.600(a)(1). Record that person's name and signature here, and have the signature acknowledged:

Individual signing at Principal's direction: [NAME] Signature: ____________________ Date: [________]

Acknowledged before: [NOTARY / AUTHORIZED OFFICER] Date: [________] Commission expiration: [________]

10. Notice to and Acceptance by Agent

An agent is a fiduciary. Before acting, the agent should read current Alaska law and obtain advice about any uncertain authority. At minimum, the agent must act within granted authority and for the Principal's benefit, keep appropriate records, avoid unauthorized self-dealing, preserve the Principal's known estate plan when the governing standard requires it, and stop when authority terminates.

I, [AGENT NAME], accept appointment and acknowledge that I must follow the power of attorney and current Alaska law.

Agent signature: ____________________________________

Date: [________________________________]
