§ 162A.260. Time at which power of attorney is effective

1. A power of attorney is effective when executed unless the principal provides in

the power of attorney that it becomes effective at a future date or upon the occurrence

of a future event or contingency. 2. If a power of attorney becomes effective upon the occurrence of a future event

or contingency, the principal, in the power of attorney, may authorize one or more

persons to determine in a writing or other record that the event or contingency has

occurred. 3. If a power of attorney becomes effective upon the principal's incapacity and the

principal has not authorized a person to determine whether the principal is incapacitated,

or the person authorized is unable or unwilling to make the determination, the power

of attorney becomes effective upon a determination in a writing or other record by

an advanced practice registered nurse, a physician, psychiatrist or licensed psychologist

that the principal is incapacitated. 4. A person authorized by the principal in the power of attorney to determine that

the principal is incapacitated may act as the principal's personal representative

pursuant to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, Public Law 104-191 , as amended, and applicable regulations, to obtain a determination of incapacity.
