New Hampshire power of attorney forms are documents that allow a person to appoint another individual to act on their behalf in certain situations. That means that the person appointed (“agent”) would stand in their place and act for the person who appointed them (“principal”).  There are many different types of power of attorney forms with the most common being the financial and medical versions. After the document has been completed and signed in accordance with State law, the form can be used.
