The New Hampshire Petition of General Durable Power of Attorney to Pay Debts and Dispose of a Dead Person's Estate (GDN) is a legal document used in the state of New Hampshire to designate an individual to represent the estate of a deceased person. This document allows the appointed individual, known as the General Durable Power of Attorney (GDP OA), to pay the deceased person's debts, settle any financial matters, and dispose of the estate in accordance with the wishes of the deceased. The GDP OA must be 18 years of age or above, and have no criminal record or history of financial mismanagement. The New Hampshire Petition of GDN to Pay Debts and Dispose of Dead Persons Estate can be separated into two distinct types: • General Durable Power of Attorney: This type of petition is used when a deceased person does not have a will and the GDP OA is appointed to manage the estate. • Limited Durable Power of Attorney: This type of petition is used when a deceased person has a will and the GDP OA is appointed to manage the estate as specified in the will. In both cases, the GDN will have the authority to manage the deceased person's finances, pay debts, and dispose of the estate. It is important to note that the GDP OA must adhere to the exact wishes of the deceased person, as stated in the will or in the absence of a will, as stated in the petition.
