Power of attorney in New Jersey: financial POA vs. health care proxy
A New Jersey power of attorney lets you name someone (your attorney-in-fact) to handle your finances and legal affairs. To keep working if you later lose capacity, it has to say so, and it must be in writing, signed and acknowledged before an officer such as a notary or New Jersey attorney. Medical decisions are handled by a separate document, a health care proxy (proxy directive).

The tax is due within 8 months of death.
