Erase In Legal New Hampshire Environmental Law Forms For Free

Once the POA has been signed by the principal and agent, it immediately goes into effect unless the principal states otherwise. The POA remains in effect until the principal dies or revokes it before death. A competent principal can revoke a POA at any time.

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.

A New Hampshire general power of attorney form serves to authorize a transfer of power from a principal (individual authorizing the transfer) to an attorney-in-fact (person to which power is transferred).

The specific guidelines and restrictions governing PoA forms are different in each state; however, in New Hampshire, your document will need the signature of a notary. If your agent(s) will handle real estate transactions, the Power of Attorney will need to be notarized and filed or recorded with the county.

A New Hampshire durable statutory power of attorney form allows a person (?principal?) to transfer the handling of financial affairs to someone else (?agent?). The powers given can be limited or broad depending on the principal's preference.

A POA must be signed by the principal or by another person in the principal's presence and at the principal's direction, and acknowledged by a notary public. The agent is also required to sign the POA to acknowledge that they have been appointed as agent and understand their role.
