Florida Statutes Title XL. Real and Personal Property § 709.2109. Termination or suspension of power of attorney or agent's authority

(a) The principal dies;

(b) The principal becomes incapacitated, if the power of attorney is not durable;

(c) The principal is adjudicated totally or partially incapacitated by a court, unless the court determines that certain authority granted by the power of attorney is to be exercisable by the agent;

(d) The principal revokes the power of attorney;

(e) The power of attorney provides that it terminates;

(f) The purpose of the power of attorney is accomplished;  or

(g) The agent's authority terminates and the power of attorney does not provide for another agent to act under the power of attorney.

(a) The agent dies, becomes incapacitated, resigns, or is removed by a court;

(b) An action is filed for the dissolution or annulment of the agent's marriage to the principal or for their legal separation, unless the power of attorney otherwise provides;  or

(c) The power of attorney terminates.

(a) If an emergency arises after initiation of proceedings to determine incapacity and before adjudication regarding the principal's capacity, the agent may petition the court in which the proceeding is pending for authorization to exercise a power granted under the power of attorney.  The petition must set forth the nature of the emergency, the property or matter involved, and the power to be exercised by the agent.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, unless otherwise ordered by the court, a proceeding to determine incapacity does not affect the authority of the agent to make health care decisions for the principal, including, but not limited to, those provided in chapter 765.  If the principal has executed a health care advance directive designating a health care surrogate, the terms of the directive control if the directive and the power of attorney are in conflict unless the power of attorney is later executed and expressly states otherwise.
