New Jersey Power of Attorney Forms
The New Jersey Power of Attorney Forms are legal forms that carry the purpose of delegating decision-making powers from one party, known as the “principal”, to another party, named the “agent”. Powers can be assigned based upon the principal’s finances, property, children, health, taxes, and much more. By using a limited type of agreement, the principal can essentially assign any power they wish (even if a POA wouldn’t typically be required), such as permission to walk their dog or collect their mail.
