A power of attorney is valid until death unless the grantor revokes it, a court revokes or modifies it, or it was specifically limited in duration.Source:

Creating a power of attorney requires a discussion of "capacity." You create a power of attorney for yourself when you have the "capacity" to make decisions for yourself. However, if you lose your capacity (from, for example, Alzheimer's disease or a head injury in a car crash) to grant permission for what you said in the power of attorney document, the document will likely stop being effective and enforceable unless you specifically state in that power of attorney that you wish the document to remain in effect even if you become incapacitated. The type of power attorney that stays in effect even after you become incapacitated is commonly referred to as a durable power of attorney.
