Nevada power of attorney forms are documents that allow a person (“principal”) to designate someone else (“agent”) to represent them in financial or medical affairs. There are several types of powers of attorney that can be delegated to an agent. It will be up to the principal to select which powers will be handed over to the agent. Regardless of the type of power of attorney used, these documents accomplish the same goal, to legally appoint another to act on their behalf by taking action and making decisions with your affairs as if the agent was the principal.
