Affidavit Of Attorney In Fact (POA)

AFFIDAVIT OF ATTORNEY IN FACT , PURSUANT TO RULE 207.48(a)(2). This is a required filing in New York Surrogate’s Court when an individual acts on behalf of a distributee or beneficiary under a Power of Attorney (POA) in an estate proceeding. This affidavit is sworn by the attorney-in-fact—the person authorized to act under the POA—and confirms the validity and continued effectiveness of the power of attorney at the time of use. It identifies the grantor (principal), states when and under whose supervision the POA was executed, and outlines the grantor’s relationship to the decedent (as a distributee or beneficiary). The form also affirms that the principal is alive, that the POA has not been revoked, and that the attorney-in-fact has submitted the original or certified copy of the POA for recording along with any required fees. The affidavit must be notarized and may specify whether the attorney-in-fact is receiving compensation for their services. www.FormsWorkflow.com
