Nevada power of attorney forms enable a person to grant permissions to a trusted individual in regard to financial matters, medical decisions, and other important affairs. Some power of attorney documents are durable, meaning they remain operational even if the principal becomes incapacitated, while others last only for a specific period of time or until the principal cannot make decisions for themselves. The attorney-in-fact should be someone close to the principal who is trustworthy and will act with the principal’s values and best interests in mind. All power of attorney forms have signing requirements that, if not followed properly, could render the document void.
