New Mexico General Power of Attorney Form

A New Mexico general power of attorney is a form that appoints an attorney-in-fact to represent an individual in various financial activities. The person authorizing the document, known as the “principal,” typically allows the attorney-in-fact to handle their property, banking, and investment transactions. Since this POA isn’t durable, it loses its validity if the principal becomes incapacitated.
