New Hampshire Power of Attorney Forms

New Hampshire Power of Attorney Forms

A New Hampshire power of attorney (POA) is an estate planning form used for providing an agent or attorney-in-fact with the necessary documentation to allow them to carry out and/or communicate another person’s wishes. An individual called the “agent” can be given powers relating to finances, real estate, taxes, motor vehicles, healthcare, and more. Additionally, the “principal” (the issuer) can decide to make the power of attorney expire on a certain date, continue indefinitely (until they die), or become active after a specific event (known as a “springing” POA). Upon accepting their nomination as an attorney-in-fact, they are bound by NH law to make every decision with the principal’s best interests in mind, and only exercise power of the specific rights they have been given in the form.
