95 INF-37: Protective Services for Adults: Changes to the Power
of Attorney Forms
|
The purpose of this release is to inform local social services districts of
changes to the power of attorney forms used in New York State. A "power of attorney" is a document by which an individual gives legal authority to
another person(s) to handle a variety of financial transactions and other
matters. Protective Services for Adults (PSA) staff frequently encounter
situations in which an elderly or impaired adult has given power of attorney
to a family member or other individual. It is important that PSA staff be
aware of the revisions to the forms and the effect these changes have on the
management of the person's financial and/or other affairs. Following is a
summary of the revisions.
