Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Utah

Re: durable power of attorney

A regular power of attorney is invalid when the grantor becomes incompetent (senile or unconscious) A durable power continues to be valid if the grantor becomes incompetent. You should have one as part of a good estate plan. CAUTION if you are trying to do it yourself on an internet estate plan, please do not do it without having it reviewed by an attorney. A generic plan might or might not be good for you, plus there are specific ways which the plan must be executed to be valid. You may call for a free consult if you have more questions.
