Description

This is a proxy form, by which a shareholder grants their vote to a proxy who will cast the vote for them. Typically used in corporate shareholder meeting votes. Proxys solicit the votes before the meeting, and obtain the proxy forms. A New Mexico revocable or irrevocable proxy is a legal document that allows a person (referred to as the principal) to authorize another individual (referred to as the proxy or attorney-in-fact) to act on their behalf in making important decisions or conducting specific transactions. In New Mexico, there are two main types of proxies: revocable proxies and irrevocable proxies. 1. Revocable Proxy: A revocable proxy grants the principal the ability to revoke or cancel the proxy appointment at any given time, for any reason. The principal retains the power to make decisions on their own behalf, and they can end the proxy relationship whenever they choose. This type of proxy is commonly used for various purposes, such as representing the principal in business transactions, voting on their behalf during shareholder meetings, or making healthcare decisions if the principal becomes incapacitated. 2. Irrevocable Proxy: An irrevocable proxy, as the name suggests, is a proxy that cannot be revoked or cancelled by the principal once it is established. This type of proxy is typically used in situations where the principal wants to ensure an ongoing representation or decision-making authority, even if they become incapacitated or unable to communicate their wishes. Irrevocable proxies are commonly utilized in estate planning, where the principal wants to entrust important financial or medical decisions to a trusted proxy for an extended period. Both types of proxies in New Mexico require the principal to appoint a proxy by executing a written proxy agreement. The agreement should clearly define the scope of the proxy's authority, the limitations on their decision-making power, and any specific instructions or preferences of the principal. It is essential to have the proxy agreement properly signed, witnessed, and notarized to ensure its legal validity. In summary, a New Mexico revocable or irrevocable proxy allows individuals to grant decision-making authority to another person in various personal, legal, or business matters. Whether the principal prefers the flexibility of a revocable proxy or the enduring authority of an irrevocable proxy, it is crucial to draft the proxy agreement carefully and seek legal advice if needed to ensure compliance with state laws and protection of the principal's interests.
