AS 13.28.030. Reliance on Substitute Decision-Making Document.

   (a) Except as otherwise provided in AS 13.26.615, a person that in good faith accepts a substitute decision-making document without actual knowledge that the document is void, invalid, or terminated, or that the purported decision maker's authority is void, invalid, or terminated, may, without inquiry, assume that the document is genuine, valid, and still in effect and that the decision maker's authority is genuine, valid, and still in effect.
   (b) A person that is asked to accept a substitute decision-making document may request and may, without further investigation, rely on
        (1) the decision maker's assertion of a fact concerning the individual for whom a decision will be made, the decision maker, or the document;
        (2) a translation of the document if the document contains, in whole or in part, a language other than English; and
        (3) an opinion of counsel regarding any matter of law concerning the document if the person requesting the opinion provides in a record the reason for the request.
