Durable Power of Attorney vs POA

[CLJM]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
Washington

A question, if you please.

I know a POA ceases to exist at the time of passing.
Does a DPOA also cease to exist at the time of passing ?

Thank you

Yes. Durability only means that the power survives the principal's legal incompetence.

Thank you Anteater----just for complete confirmation----so, you are saying, Yes, the DPOA powers ceases at the passing.

Question answered.

Both POA and DPOA ceases upon the passing of the principal.
