Your agent is able to act on your behalf in circumstances where you are not legally able to act. A General Durable Power of Attorney will continue in effect if you, as the principal, become mentally incapacitated.
Kansas law provides that you may establish a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care Decisions in which you authorize one or more individuals to make medical decisions on your behalf in the event you are not able to make that decision for yourself.
