A New York limited power of attorney form is a legal tool that allows you to grant specific powers to a trusted person for a limited period or transaction. The principal must clearly define these powers to avoid ambiguity and ensure the agent is trustworthy and reliable.
The form specifies the agent’s duties and the duration of their authority, typically ending after the task is completed or by a set date. It is often used for specific financial matters, such as handling real estate transactions, and becomes void if the principal becomes incapacitated.
