FAQ

A New York durable statutory power of attorney allows a person to hand over the power to handle their finances to someone else, and remains valid during their lifetime. The person giving power (principal) can choose to give limited or broad powers to their selected individual (agent).

One must mention the following details on the Power of Attorney format PDF:The name of the principal.The name of the agent.Signature.Details and legal authorities provided to the agent.Other details depending on the Power of Attorney format for authorized signatories.

In New York, a Power of Attorney should be signed and dated by the principal with a sound mental capacity, and it is acknowledged in the same manner as a conveyance of real property, which means it has to be notarized (N.Y. General Obligations Law 5-1501B).

Under the new law, the person designating an agent (known as the principal), still needs to have his or her signature notarized, but now must sign the Power of Attorney in the presence of two witnesses (one of whom can be the notary).

In New York, you must notarize the POA and also have it witnessed by two people who are not named in the POA as agents. The notary public can serve as a witness, so you might need to find only one more witness.

Statutory Durable Power of Attorney - Durable Provisions

STATUTORY REFERENCE

ALL REFERENCES ARE TO THE NEW YORK CONSOLIDATED LAWS

DURABLE GENERAL POWER OF ATTORNEY, NON-DURABLE GENERAL POWER OF ATTORNEY and DURABLE GENERAL POWER OF ATTORNEY EFFECTIVE AT A FUTURE TIME

(Chapter 24-A, Article 5, §§ 1501 through 1506 )

I. General Information (Durable, Non-Durable, and Effective at a Future Time)

A power of attorney is a "statutory short form power of attorney", only when it meets the Statutory requirements and has been duly acknowledged.

The power of attorney must contain the exact wording of the form set forth in in the statute, except that any blank space to the left of any one or more of lettered subdivisions may be initialed by the principal. Any such lettered subdivisions are deemed chosen by the principal and are effective with respect to the powers conferred in the particular sections.

If more than one agent is designated by the principal, such agents must act jointly or separately consistent with the interpretive instructions contained in such statutory short form power of attorney.

A "statutory short form power of attorney" may contain modifications or additions of the types described in § 5-1503 (see below).

Modifications (§ 5-1503)

A power of attorney which satisfies the statutory requirements is not prevented from being a "statutory short form power of attorney", or a "statutory short form power of attorney effective at a future time", because it also contains additional language which:

Eliminates from the power of attorney one or more of the powers enumerated in the statutory form.; or

Supplements one or more of the powers enumerated in one or more of the constructional sections of the statutory form.; or

Makes some additional provision which is not inconsistent with the other provisions of the statutory short form power of attorney or of the statutory short form power of attorney effective at a future time.

Durability

The subsequent disability or incompetence of a principal does not revoke or terminate the authority of an attorney-in-fact who acts under a power of attorney in a writing executed by such principal which contains the words "This power of attorney shall not be affected by my subsequent disability or incompetence", or words of similar import showing the intent of such principal that the authority conferred shall be exercisable notwithstanding his or her subsequent disability or incompetence.

Requirements

To be valid, the power of attorney must be written, typed or printed using letters which are in legible writing or clear type of no less than twelve point in size or, if in writing, a reasonable equivalent of the typed requirements.

The power of attorney MUST contain, in bold face and in upper case or upper and lower case type or a reasonable equivalent thereof the word "CAUTION" which is printed in bold face type at the beginning of the statutory form and the "DIRECTIONS" which are printed in bold face type immediately before subdivisions (A) through (Q) of the statutory form.

The instrument must require that a person or persons named in the instrument declare, in writing, that such contingency has occurred.

Durability

The disability or incompetence of a principal does not revoke or terminate the authority of an attorney-in-fact who acts under a power of attorney executed in writing by the principal in accordance with the statutory requirements if the instrument contains the words "This power of attorney shall not be affected by my disability or incompetence", or words of similar import showing the intent of the principal that the authority conferred shall be exercisable notwithstanding the principal's disability or incompetence.
