 | New York Limited (Special) Power of Attorney Form |
The New York limited (special) power of attorney form allows a Principal to give authority to an Agent so that they may handle specific responsibilities while the Principal is away and/or unable to do so. The Agent will have full authorization to conduct himself/herself within the scope of the form and within the timeframe established (if any). Generally speaking, a form of this nature is established for a single event such as the purchasing of property, or for a specific time frame. For instance, the Attorney-in-Fact may be responsible for receiving the Principal’s mail for the amount of time dictated within the document.
Must be signed in the presence of a notary public and two (2) witnesses.
