Nevada power of attorney, prepared for $200 — so family can act when you cannot.

A financial power of attorney must be signed by the principal, or by another person signing the principal’s name in the principal’s conscious presence and at their direction; signing before a notary makes the signature presumed genuine. A health care power of attorney must be signed before a notary or two adult witnesses. If the principal lives in a hospital or care facility, a certification of competency must be attached to the financial power of attorney.

For a financial power of attorney, notarizing makes your signature presumed genuine, and banks and title companies generally expect it. A health care power of attorney must be either notarized or signed before two qualified adult witnesses. For South Las Vegas residents signing in person at our office, our partner notary charges $15 for the first signature and $7.50 for each additional one.

A durable power of attorney keeps working if the principal can no longer act for themselves. Nevada’s statutory form for financial matters is durable and takes effect immediately unless the document states otherwise. TruPoint prepares it for $200.

A financial power of attorney covers money and property and does not authorize health care decisions. A power of attorney for health care lets your agent make medical decisions if you cannot give informed consent. Many people sign both; each is $200, or $400 together.

Only your parent can grant it, by signing the document while able to understand it. If your parent lives in a hospital or care facility, Nevada requires a certification of competency from a physician, advanced practice registered nurse, psychologist or psychiatrist to be attached to the financial power of attorney. We prepare the documents your parent directs for $200 each.

A power of attorney must be signed by the person giving authority. If that person can no longer understand what they are signing, a power of attorney is generally not available, and families usually turn to a court guardianship, which is outside what we prepare.

Generally any adult you trust. Nevada sets limits: a health care provider or an employee of a facility caring for you cannot be your health care agent unless they are your spouse, legal guardian or next of kin, and if you live in a hospital, assisted living or skilled nursing facility, that facility, its owners and its employees cannot be named as agent unless they are your spouse, legal guardian or next of kin, apart from a narrow Medicaid exception.

Nevada’s statutory financial form takes effect immediately unless you state otherwise in the special instructions. A power of attorney for health care is effective when signed unless it says it starts on a future date or on incapacity.

Yes. An agent’s authority ends at the principal’s death. Property then passes under a trust, will, Deed Upon Death or joint tenancy, or through probate.

Yes. Intake is online, the documents are emailed to you, and you sign from home by video with a registered Nevada online notary through our partner ($25 per signature). If you live in South Las Vegas you can also sign at our office, 8784 S. Maryland Pkwy, Suite 105, with our partner notary.

A living trust controls only property held in the trust. A financial power of attorney covers matters outside it, such as accounts not in the trust, taxes and benefits, which is why many people sign both. Which documents you sign is your decision; we prepare the ones you direct.

Not generally. It is recorded when your agent will sign real estate documents, so the authority is on the county record with the deed. Recording is $50 plus the county recording fee, estimated at $50.

A financial power of attorney that includes real property authority can be used to sign a deed, and it is recorded with the deed. For one transaction only, a special power of attorney limited to that property is also available for $250.

That is a different document. A power of attorney used in another country usually has to meet that country’s requirements and often needs translation and an apostille. We prepare that power of attorney for property overseas for $200, with translation and the apostille arranged through our sister company.

Yes. Quinnie is a native English and Vietnamese speaker, so intake, questions and review can be handled in Vietnamese.
