An Iowa statutory durable power of attorney is a form individuals can use to grant financial powers to a designated agent. Through this legal document, the agent becomes authorized by the principal (the person granting power) to make financial decisions on their behalf. The unique feature of a durable POA is that it remains in effect even if the principal becomes incapacitated.
