Ohio Code § 1337.30. Reproduced from the official Ohio Revised Code, with a citation summary, verification link, and related provisions.
§ 1337.30.
(A) A power of attorney terminates when any of the following occurs: (1) The principal dies; (2) The principal becomes incapacitated, if the power of attorney is not durable; (3) The principal revokes the power of attorney; (4) The power of attorney provides that it terminates; (5) The purpose of the power of attorney is accomplished; (6) The principal revokes the agent's authority or the agent dies, becomes incapacitated,
or resigns, and the power of attorney does not provide for another agent to act under
the power of attorney. (B) An agent's authority terminates when any of the following occurs: (1) The principal revokes the authority; (2) The agent dies, becomes incapacitated, or resigns; (3) An action is filed for the divorce, dissolution, or annulment of the agent's marriage
to the principal or their legal separation, unless the power of attorney otherwise
provides; (4) The power of attorney terminates. (C) Unless the power of attorney otherwise provides, an agent's authority is exercisable
until the authority terminates under division (B) of this section, notwithstanding
a lapse of time since the execution of the power of attorney. (D) Termination of an agent's authority or of a power of attorney is not effective as
to the agent or another person that, without actual knowledge of the termination,
acts in good faith under the power of attorney. An act so performed, unless otherwise invalid or unenforceable, binds the principal
and the principal's successors in interest. (E) Incapacity of the principal of a power of attorney that is not durable does not revoke
or terminate the power of attorney as to an agent or other person that, without actual
knowledge of the incapacity, acts in good faith under the power of attorney. An act so performed, unless otherwise invalid or unenforceable, binds the principal
and the principal's successors in interest. (F) The execution of a power of attorney does not revoke a power of attorney previously
executed by the principal unless the subsequent power of attorney provides that the
previous power of attorney is revoked or that all other powers of attorney are revoked.
