Durable Power of Attorney

Arizona’s most comprehensive financial protection tool — remains valid even if you become mentally or physically incapacitated.

Why Choose a Durable POA?

The Durable POA is the gold standard for Arizona estate planning, offering uninterrupted protection when you need it most.

Most Recommended

Estate planning attorneys in Arizona most frequently recommend Durable POAs for comprehensive protection.

Stay Active

Unlike a General POA, a Durable POA remains effective even if you suffer a stroke, dementia, or accident.

Avoids Guardianship

Without a Durable POA, courts may appoint a guardian — a costly, slow process that removes your control.

Remains valid if you become incapacitated

Customizable scope of authority
One of the most significant advantages of a Durable POA is the continuity it provides. Life is unpredictable — a sudden medical event, accident, or progressive illness can rob a person of decision-making capacity at any age. Having a Durable POA in place means your trusted agent can step in seamlessly without court intervention.

Many Arizona families learn the value of a Durable POA only after a crisis occurs. By then, the court process to establish guardianship or conservatorship can take months and cost thousands of dollars. Establishing a Durable POA now is one of the most important and compassionate things you can do for your family.

Arizona Legal Requirement

Under A.R.S. §14-5502, a Durable POA must include specific language stating it survives incapacity. Our team ensures all required language is present and correctly drafted.

The document must be signed in front of a notary public and, depending on the powers granted, may require two witnesses.

Don’t Wait for a Crisis
A Durable POA can only be created while you are mentally competent. Once incapacity occurs, it is too late — the court must intervene.
