FAQ
In Florida, like in all states, the power of attorney ends when the principal/grantor dies. A durable power of attorney is a useful document that gives your agent the power to help manage someone's legal and financial affairs during their lifetimes. When the principal/grantor dies, the power of attorney ends.
A power of attorney ends if the person it represents becomes incapacitated. That's when a special kind of power of attorney, known as a durable power of attorney, is more appropriate, because it remains intact, or “durable,” even if a person suffers mental incapacity in the future.
Per Florida Statutes, an agent of durable power of attorney is prohibited from: Performing contractual obligations that require the principal to execute the services. Making affidavits to contracts without the principal's knowledge. Voting in public elections on the principal's behalf.
Limitations of a Power of Attorney in Florida The POA agent cannot change the agreement or break their fiduciary duty, otherwise they can be held liable for fraud and negligence. The agent also cannot transfer the POA to another individual or make decisions for the principal after death.

A power of attorney, even if it's durable, only remains effective during the principal's lifetime and cannot extend beyond that. After death, the control of the deceased person's estate is governed by probate law rather than the power of attorney document.
Yes, a Power of Attorney can indeed sell property before the principal's death, provided that the POA document explicitly grants this authority. The ability to sell property is not automatically included in all POAs, so it's crucial to review the document carefully to ensure this power has been conferred.
A durable power of attorney in both Florida and Minnesota can last the principal's lifetime. A medical POA, on the other hand, is only active while the principal is incapacitated.
The principal — that is, the person who assigned POA to someone (an agent) on their behalf — can revoke it. Power of attorneys are defined by the period they are in effect and the powers that are granted to the agent by the principal.
