New Hampshire power of attorney forms are documents that allow an agent to act in place of a principal and make decisions on their behalf. Extensive financial powers can be authorized through both a durable and non-durable power of attorney while specific financial responsibilities are best designated in a limited power of attorney. Any document deemed “durable” shall remain valid while the principal is incapacitated. If the principal requires a health care agent to oversee their end-of-life treatment, they will draft an advance directive to elect the agent and detail their medical preferences.
