Powers of attorney are regulated by NJ Rev Stat § 46:2B, while health care proxies (New Jersey power of attorney for health care) must be executed according to NJ Rev Stat §26:2H-53 to §26:2H-67.

Your power of attorney form will be legally binding in New Jersey if it’s executed according to NJ Rev Stat § 46:2B. Make sure your power of attorney meets all NJ requirements:

  1. The power of attorney form must include the:
    • name and contact information of the principal and agent(s)
    • date of execution
    • powers given to the agent, described in clear language
    • effective date of the agent’s powers
    • termination of the agent’s powers
    • signatures of the principal, agent, and notary
  2. The principal’s signature must be acknowledged before a notary public
  3. A durable power of attorney must contain specific language indicating that the agent’s powers will not be revoked if the principal becomes incapacitated.

If you appoint multiple co-agents, you should indicate whether they will act jointly or separately to make decisions on your behalf. If you don’t specify in the form, your agents will have to agree on every decision made on your behalf.
