Power of Attorney

Power of Attorney Lawyer in NYC | The Haskins Firm

Empower Someone You Trust to Handle Your Legal and Financial Matters

A Power of Attorney (POA) allows someone you trust to act on your behalf in legal, financial, or property-related matters. Without one, your family may have to go through court to take action if you're incapacitated.

At The Haskins Firm, we help NYC clients create durable powers of attorney that are legally sound and fully customized.

Types of Power of Attorney We Draft:

• Durable POA – Remains in effect even if you become incapacitated
• Springing POA – Becomes effective only when a specific event occurs
• Limited POA – Used for specific tasks or time periods
• Financial and real estate POAs – Especially useful for managing NYC properties

Why It Matters

Granting power of attorney:

• Prevents legal delays during emergencies
• Avoids guardianship proceedings
• Provides peace of mind for families
