What a power of attorney does under Nevada law

A power of attorney is a written document in which you, the principal, authorize another person, your agent, to act for you. Nevada's Uniform Power of Attorney Act, NRS Chapter 162A, governs how one is created, what it may cover and how it is signed. Under NRS 162A.210 a Nevada financial power of attorney is durable unless it expressly provides that it is terminated by the incapacity of the principal, so it continues to operate if you later become unable to manage your own affairs.

Signature on Demand prepares your power of attorney at your direction on the statutory forms Nevada publishes in NRS 162A.620 (financial) and NRS 162A.700 to 162A.870 (health care), with the agents, powers and limits you specify. We do not choose your agent or advise which powers to grant; those are your decisions, and a Nevada attorney can advise on them if you wish.

How a Nevada power of attorney is signed

NRS 162A.220 requires that a financial power of attorney be signed by the principal or, in the principal's conscious presence, by another individual directed by the principal to sign, and provides that the signature is presumed to be genuine if the principal acknowledges the signature before a notary public. A health care power of attorney is signed under NRS 162A.790, before a notary or two qualified witnesses.

Our mobile notary comes to your home, office, hospital or care facility anywhere in the Las Vegas valley, or the document can be signed by remote online notarization under NRS 240.1991 to 240.1995 from anywhere. Each signer presents valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID.

If the principal resides in a hospital, residential facility for groups, skilled nursing facility or home for individual residential care when the financial power of attorney is signed, NRS 162A.220(2) requires that a certification of competency of the principal from an advanced practice registered nurse, a physician, psychologist or psychiatrist be attached to the power of attorney. We tell you before the signing when that applies and what the certification must say.

Three steps to a signed power of attorney

Free consultation and intake. By phone or video. We confirm which document you need prepared, who your agent and alternate agent are, and which powers you want included. You complete our short intake form at your convenience.
Preparation and review. We prepare the document on the Nevada statutory form and send a draft by secure email, usually within two business days. You review and tell us about any corrections.
Signing and notarization. We schedule the signing, mobile or online, and where required arrange witnesses. You leave with a fully executed original, and we can prepare a certified copy for banks or agencies on request.

Power of attorney questions

Do I need an attorney to prepare a Nevada power of attorney? Nevada publishes statutory forms in NRS 162A.620 (financial) and NRS 162A.855 (health care), and a document preparation service registered under NRS Chapter 240A may complete them at your direction. Whether a power of attorney is the right document for your situation is a legal question for a Nevada attorney.

When does a power of attorney take effect? A Nevada financial power of attorney is effective when signed unless it states that it becomes effective at a future date or on a future event, such as a determination of incapacity (NRS 162A.260). You choose which, and we prepare it accordingly.

Can I revoke it later? Yes. A principal who has capacity may revoke a power of attorney at any time (NRS 162A.270). We can prepare a written revocation and notarize it.

Will a bank accept it? NRS 162A.370 sets out when a person may and may not refuse to accept an acknowledged power of attorney. Some institutions ask for their own form as well; bring the executed original, and we can prepare an agent's certification under NRS 162A.360 if the institution requests one.

Does a power of attorney cover health care decisions? Only a health care power of attorney under NRS 162A.700 to 162A.870 does. A financial power of attorney does not. Many customers have both prepared together, which is why we offer the pair.

Can it be notarized the same day? Once the draft is approved, signing is scheduled at the next available mobile or online appointment, often the same or next day.
