(b) An act done by an agent under a power granted in a power of attorney under AS 13.26.645 — 13.26.665 during a period of incapacity or uncertainty as to whether the principal is dead or alive has the same effect and enures to the benefit of and binds a principal and the principal's distributees, devisees, legatees, and personal representatives as if there were no incapacity of the principal. If a conservator is later appointed for the principal, during the continuance of the appointment , the agent is accountable to the conservator as well as to the principal. The conservator has the same power to revoke, suspend, or terminate the power of attorney that the principal would have if there was no incapacity of the principal.
