New Jersey Power of Attorney is a legal document that allows one person (the "Principal") to grant another person (the "Agent") the authority to act on their behalf and make decisions. It can be tailored to the specific situation and is commonly used for financial and medical matters. There are three main types of New Jersey Power of Attorney: General Power of Attorney, Limited Power of Attorney, and Durable Power of Attorney. A General Power of Attorney grants an Agent the broadest range of authority, allowing them to make any decisions the Principal would make on their own. A Limited Power of Attorney is used when the Principal wishes to grant specific tasks to an Agent. This type of Power of Attorney is often used in business transactions and other specialized matters. A Durable Power of Attorney is similar to a General Power of Attorney, but it remains valid even if the Principal becomes incapacitated. This type of Power of Attorney is often used for long-term planning or to ensure the Principal's wishes are carried out if they become unable to make decisions for themselves.
