Re: Power of Attorney
The term "durable" means that the power of attorney remains in effect even after the principal becomes incompetent ("incapacitated", to use the WA terminology).
You may review the statutes on powers of attorney, Chapter 11.94 RCW, at http://search.leg.wa.gov/wslrcw/RCW%20%2011%20%20TITLE/RCW%20%2011%20.%2094%20%20CHAPTER/RCW%20%2011%20.%2094%20%20chapter.htm.
