This General Durable Power of Attorney allows you to appoint an attorney-in-fact/agent to perform broad and sweeping powers that you could do if personally present. It allows for a successor/alternate agent in the case the original agent can't or won't act. This document is formatted for recording.

Interpretation and Governing Law: This instrument is executed and delivered in the State of New Jersey and the laws of the State of New Jersey shall govern all questions as to the validity of this power and the construction of its provisions.

Third Party Reliance: N.J.S.A. 46:2B-8.6 authorizes that third parties may rely upon the representations of my Agent as to all matters relating to any power granted to my Agent, and no person who may act in reliance upon the representations of my Agent or the authority granted to my Agent shall incur any liability to me or my estate as a result of permitting my Agent to exercise any power.

N.J.S.A. 46:2B-8.11 authorizes any third party to rely on a duly executed counterpart of this instrument, or a copy certified by my Agent to be a true copy of this original hereof, as fully and completely as if such third party had received the original of this instrument. The signature of my Agent is sufficient to exercise the powers delegated herein and may be relied upon by any third party as an authorized act of my Agent under this general durable power of attorney.

Amazing fast service. From the U.K. I was unable to get a check in U.S. dollars. This solved my problem as I was able to make payment with a card. So much faster than sending the documents from the U.K. via the postal service. Easy to use site, very quickly processed. Highly recommend
