Law (general)
Probate
I understand "speciální plná moc" would be understood as "specific power of attorney". However, in the U.S. specific power of attorney may be "durable" or "non-durable". Is there such a distinction for specific power of attorney under the Czech law?

special power of attorney
"special" seems to be used more frequently than "specific", although I believe that both versions are possible.
As far as I know there is no non-durable power of attorney in the Czech law.
Power of attoreny according to s. 31 et seq. of the Czech Civil Code (40/1964 Sb.) is not terminated by disability of the person granting the PoA. (see s. 33b of the Civil Code)

I believe that it is possible to make the PoA non-durable by expressly saying so in the document, but this is quite unusual...

Comment: "Thanks. Every little bit helps. :-)
It seems that "special" and "specific" are used interchangeably here in the states. To compound the issue, each of the 50 states has its own laws and nomenclature. A lot of times neither "special" nor "specific" is a part of the phrase, e.g. "limited power of attorney", etc. Once again, thanks for your timely response."
