The New York Power of Attorney is a legal document that allows an individual, known as the "principal," to appoint another person, called the "agent" or "attorney-in-fact," to act on their behalf in legal and financial matters. It grants the agent broad powers to make decisions and manage the principal's affairs, including handling real estate transactions, managing finances, accessing bank accounts, and making healthcare decisions, among other things. This document is used when the principal wants to ensure that someone they trust will have the authority to handle their affairs if they become incapacitated or are unable to do so themselves.
