Alabama requires that the person making a power of attorney be of sound mind. In other words, the person must be " able to understand and comprehend his or her actions." (Troy Health and Rehabilitation Center v. McFarland, 187 So.3d 1112 (Ala. 2015).) If you're helping someone create a POA, you'll want to make sure that they understand the powers they are giving away.
In Alabama, unless you've explicitly stated otherwise in the document, your durable financial power of attorney takes effect as soon as you've signed it before witnesses and a notary public. It's possible to create a condition that must be satisfied before the POA becomes effective—such as a doctor declaring that you are incapacitated—but there are many reasons why this type of "springing" power of attorney is not usually advised.
You can make several different types of POAs. In particular, many estate plans include two POAs that are effective even if you become incapacitated: a financial POA , which allows someone to handle your financial or business matters , and a medical or health care POA (incorporated into a larger document called an "advance directive for health care" in Alabama), which allows someone to make medical decisions on your behalf. Both of these POAs are what are known as "durable" POAs, which means that they retain their effectiveness even after you're incapacitated. It's a good idea for most people to create these two documents, as they help plan for the unexpected.
A durable POA allows someone to help you with your financial matters if you ever become incapacitated—here's how to make one in Alabama.
You get a divorce. In Alabama, if you file for divorce or annulment and your ex-spouse is named as your agent in your POA, that designation automatically ends. If you named a successor agent, that person would become your agent.
If you checked off "real estate transactions" as one of the powers you granted to your agent, you should also file a copy of your POA in the land records office of any county where you own real estate . This will allow the land records office to recognize your agent's authority if your agent ever needs to sell, mortgage, or transfer real estate for you.
Any power of attorney automatically ends at your death. It also ends if:
