A Nevada non-durable (general) power of attorney documents an arrangement in which one party (the principal) extends the rights they have to manage their financial responsibilities to another party (the agent). The principal can still conduct their activities, but the agent will also have the authority to act if they’re absent or unavailable.
A GPOA is non-durable, meaning it will terminate if the principal sustains an injury or illness resulting in mental incapacity. Consider planning to have a long-term attorney-in-fact by creating and signing a durable power of attorney form instead.
