New Mexico Power of Attorney Forms (9 Types)

Updated August 09, 2023

New Mexico power of attorney forms are documents that allow a person to authorize someone else to handle financial, medical, or other affairs on their behalf. The person giving the power (“principal”) is recommended to choose a trusted person (“agent”) to act in their presence as they will have as much power as the principal acting on their own. The principal can elect to select the form to be “durable” which would make it valid even if they should become incapacitated.
