Generally, unless limited in time within the document that created it, a Power of Attorney remains effective until it is revoked or until the principal becomes incapacitated. A Durable Power of Attorney remains effective even if the principal becomes incapacitated.

If you have a POA that is limited to a one-year period then that was the choice of the principal (the person who granted the POA).
