14-5505. Continuance of durable powers of attorney by affidavit

A. An affidavit executed by the agent under a durable power of attorney stating that the agent did not have at the time of exercise of the power actual knowledge of the termination of the power by revocation or of the principal's death creates, in the absence of fraud, a rebuttable presumption of the nonrevocation or nontermination of the power at that time.

B. If the exercise of the power of attorney requires execution and delivery of any instrument that is recordable, the affidavit when authenticated for purposes of recording is also recordable.

C. This section does not affect any provision in a power of attorney for its termination by expiration of time or occurrence of an event other than express revocation or a change in the principal's capacity.
