If the POA is (1) a general POA (meaning a POA not limited to a specific transaction or purpose?most durable POAs for estate planning purposes would fall into this category) or (2) gives the agent the power to deal with real estate, New Hampshire also requires that you sign the POA in the presence of a notary public.
