A California statutory durable power of attorney is a legal document in which a representative is selected to handle financial matters on behalf of an individual. What makes this form “durable” is the fact that it doesn’t terminate if the principal (the individual being represented) becomes mentally incapacitated and is no longer able to make decisions on their own.

A California power of attorney form must be signed by the principal and either acknowledged before a notary public or signed by two adult witnesses (the representative can’t act as a witness).[1]
“Durable power of attorney” means a power of attorney that satisfies the requirements for durability provided in Section 4124.[2]
