Question: 1 / 400

A continuing power of attorney is terminated upon what event?

The death of the attorney

The court appoints a guardian of property

A continuing power of attorney is a type of legal document where the donor (also known as the principal) gives someone else (the attorney) the power to make decisions and act on their behalf in financial or legal matters. This power of attorney usually remains in effect until it is revoked or terminated in some way. In this case, the correct answer is B because if the court appoints a guardian of the donor's property, it means that the court has found the donor to be incapable of managing their own affairs. This would also mean that the power of attorney is no longer needed or in effect because someone else has been appointed to make decisions and handle the donor's finances.

These events may require the donor to revoke or terminate
