The document is used when a plaintiff in a civil action is seeking a court order on behalf of a person who is unable to pay court fees. The affidavit must be filed with the court by a person who is authorized to serve the proposed order on the respondent. The New York Affidavit of Service of Proposed Poor Person's Order is typically completed by the plaintiff or their attorney. The document must include the name and address of the respondent, the date of service, the name of the person who served the documents, and the manner of service. The affidavit must be signed and notarized by the person who served the documents. Once the affidavit is filed with the court, the proposed order can be served on the respondent and the case can proceed.
