Full text of New Jersey New Jersey Statutes § 46:2b-8, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 46:2b-8.
a. Any third party may rely upon the authority granted in a durable power of attorney
until the third party has received actual notice of the revocation of the power of
attorney, the termination or suspension of the authority of the attorney-in-fact,
or the death of the principal. b. A third party who has not received such actual notice under paragraph a. of this
section may, but need not, require that the attorney-in-fact execute an affidavit
stating that the attorney-in-fact did not have at the time of exercise of the power
actual knowledge of the termination of the power by revocation, the termination or
suspension of the authority of the attorney-in-fact, or the principal's death, disability,
or incapacity. Such affidavit is conclusive proof of the nonrevocation or nontermination of the
power at that time. If the exercise of the power of attorney requires execution and delivery of any
instrument that is recordable, the affidavit when authenticated for record is likewise
recordable. This section does not affect any provision in a power of attorney for its termination
by expiration of time or occurrence of an event other than express revocation or a
change in the principal's capacity.
