A New York limited power of attorney form is a legal tool enabling you to confer specified powers to a trusted person for a limited time period or transaction. The person granting the power, or the principal, must clearly state the power he or she is granting so that there is no ambiguity. It is important, as in every POA situation, to make sure that your agent is trustworthy and reliable.
How to Write
1 – The New York Documentation To Delegate Limited Power Is Presented Below
This page will provide the paperwork to appoint an Attorney-in-Fact with a Limited amount of Principal Powers. You may locate the paperwork through one of the image labels presented.
2 – Report The Participants Of the Declaration Statement
The first statement here will declare a Principal’s intention to delegate a Limited Principal Power to an Agent (or Attorney-in-Fact). Present the Principal’s Legal Name on the first blank line and his or her Complete Address just after the words “…Whose Address Is.” 
On the empty space between the words “…Hereby Appoint” and “My True And Lawful Agent” calls for the Full Legal of the Agent (or Attorney-in-Fact) to be presented.
3 – Supply A Detail Of the Limited Powers The Principal Intends To Grant The Agent (or Attorney-in-Fact)
There will a set of numbered lines provided below the main declaration statement where the exact Powers that should be granted to the Agent (Attorney-in-Fact) must be documented in detail. There are only enough to assign to separate Principal Powers to the Agent here but if you need more room or more Limited Powers must be defined, then you may continue this report on a separate document and attach it. Make sure such an attachment is labeled properly and present at the time of the Principal Signing. 
4 – The Principal Must Date And Sign This Paperwork Before Two Witnesses
The Principal issuing the Authority detailed here will need to provide the Date he or she puts this document in effect. The final statement of this declaration will need to have the Principal Signature Date recorded by supplying the three empty spaces it contains with the Calendar Day, Month, and Year of Signature
The Principal must sign the blank line just over the bold word “Principal” to solidify his or her intent in executing this paperwork.
Each of the two Witnesses present at the Principal signing must sign his or her Name and report his or her Address in the areas provided.
