Nevada Power of Attorney
Discover the many uses of a Nevada power of attorney. Whether it is a springing, a durable, a springing durable or a non-durable, for every occasion there is a power of attorney ready to help.
Your Nevada estate planning attorney probably uses the springing durable powers of attorney more than any other. This one allows you to assign your spouse, or someone else you trust, to take over decision making in the event an accident were to leave you mentally incompetent.
This type of power of attorney is most commonly used as a springing durable medical power of attorney and a springing durable financial power of attorney. These two documents allow practically all of your day to day activities to carry on in your absence as well as all of your medical decisions to be made for you. A health care directive can be included also, giving specific instructions for your health care providers to follow.
Nevada law says the person you appoint to make these decisions is called the attorney-in-fact. If your attorney-in-fact is your spouse be sure to void your powers of attorney if you ever get a divorce. While many states do this automatically, Nevada is not one of them. In fact, the best time to void these documents is when you file for a divorce.
A non-durable power of attorney is automatically void if you ever loose your mental capacity. These are used a lot for special situations like closing a real estate deal in your absence. You would need a non-durable Nevada real estate power of attorney for this. Selling a car can be done with a non-durable Kansas vehicle power of attorney. Provisions for child care can also be taken care of with a special power of attorney.
Another type of non-durable power of attorney is a general one. This power should only be granted to someone, like your spouse, that you trust completely. It grants a large range of authority to your attorney-in-fact. If you were leaving the country for a while, and wanted to be sure any possible emergency could be taken care of, leaving a trusted family member, or friend, with a general power of attorney would do the job. Having one on file, with your spouse as the attorney-in-fact, is good to have for general purposes and emergencies.
