New Hampshire Sample Letter for Invalid Power of Attorney [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Recipient's Name] [Recipient's Address] [City, State, ZIP] Re: Invalid Power of Attorney Dear [Recipient's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention an issue regarding the Power of Attorney (POA) document associated with [Principal's Name]. As a concerned party, I recently discovered that the POA granted to [Agent's Name] may be invalid according to New Hampshire state law. To provide you with a clearer understanding of the situation, I have outlined the reasons for the potential invalidity of the POA as follows: 1. Improper Execution: It appears that the POA was not executed in compliance with the requirements set forth in New Hampshire law (RSA 564-E:105). A valid POA in New Hampshire must be signed by the principal or at the principal's direction, in the presence of two witnesses who are not the agent or an agent’s spouse. Based on the available information, it seems this crucial requirement was not fulfilled. 2. Lack of Notarization: New Hampshire law defines a durable power of attorney as enforceable if signed "before a notarial officer." Upon careful review, it seems that the POA in question was not notarized, further raising doubts about its validity. 3. Substituted Agent Unauthorized: The appointment of [Agent's Name] as a substitute agent, as mentioned in the POA, could because for invalidity. New Hampshire law (RSA 564:108) specifies that an agent may only appoint a substitute agent if authorized by the power of attorney. Without explicit authorization, the appointment of a substitute agent may render the entire POA invalid. Considering the above concerns, I kindly request that you review the attached documents, which include copies of the relevant laws, and take necessary action to rectify the potential invalidity of the Power of Attorney granted to [Agent's Name]. In light of the circumstances, I believe it is crucial to involve legal professionals to ensure the rights and interests of all parties involved. I am open to discussing this matter further and participating in any subsequent legal proceedings, if necessary. Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I strongly believe that resolving this issue in a timely and proper manner is essential to avoid any potential legal complications. Please acknowledge receipt of this letter and inform me about the necessary steps you will be taking to address this issue. I look forward to your prompt response. Sincerely, [Your Name]
