Will i lose power of attorney on my loved one if i put them in a nursing home in another state?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not if it's durable: A durable power of attny does not expire until either the patient or poa dies. That being said, you will need to checck with the new state to see if your poa applies. It remains in effect in the grantiing state until the patient or poa dies and there is not another person mentioned.
