Advertencia al poderdante / Caution to the principal

Español — traducción para facilitar la comprensión. Su poder es un documento importante. Como poderdante, concede a la persona que elija como apoderado autoridad para gastar su dinero y vender o disponer de sus bienes durante su vida sin informarle cada vez. Usted conserva su propia facultad de actuar. Las facultades efectivas de este documento están limitadas en las secciones 2 y 3.

Cuando el apoderado ejerza su autoridad, deberá seguir sus instrucciones o, si no las hay, actuar en su mejor interés. La sección “Información importante para el apoderado” explica sus responsabilidades. El apoderado solo puede actuar después de firmar y reconocer este poder ante un notario.

Usted puede pedirle información en cualquier momento. Si revoca un poder anterior, conviene avisar por escrito al apoderado anterior y a las personas que hayan actuado basándose en ese poder, incluidos los bancos donde tenga cuentas. Puede revocar o terminar su poder en cualquier momento y por cualquier motivo mientras conserve la capacidad para hacerlo. Si pierde esa capacidad, un tribunal puede remover a un apoderado por conducta indebida.

Este poder no permite al apoderado tomar decisiones médicas por usted; para eso puede otorgar un poder para la atención de salud. La ley de poderes se encuentra en el artículo 5, título 15 de la Ley de Obligaciones Generales de Nueva York, disponible en una biblioteca jurídica y en los sitios del Senado o la Asamblea estatal. Si no comprende este documento o alguna de sus disposiciones, consulte a un abogado de su elección.

English — required statutory wording.

Your Power of Attorney is an important document. As the "principal," you give the person whom you choose (your "agent") authority to spend your money and sell or dispose of your property during your lifetime without telling you. You do not lose your authority to act even though you have given your agent similar authority.

When your agent exercises this authority, he or she must act according to any instructions you have provided or, where there are no specific instructions, in your best interest. "Important Information for the Agent" at the end of this document describes your agent's responsibilities.

Your agent can act on your behalf only after signing the Power of Attorney before a notary public.

You can request information from your agent at any time. If you are revoking a prior Power of Attorney, you should provide written notice of the revocation to your prior agent(s) and to any third parties who may have acted upon it, including the financial institutions where your accounts are located.

You can revoke or terminate your Power of Attorney at any time for any reason as long as you are of sound mind. If you are no longer of sound mind, a court can remove an agent for acting improperly.

Your agent cannot make health care decisions for you. You may execute a "Health Care Proxy" to do this.

The law governing Powers of Attorney is contained in the New York General Obligations Law, Article 5, Title 15. This law is available at a law library, or online through the New York State Senate or Assembly websites, www.nysenate.gov or www.nyassembly.gov.

If there is anything about this document that you do not understand, you should ask a lawyer of your own choosing to explain it to you.

English — required statutory wording.

When you accept the authority granted under this Power of Attorney, a special legal relationship is created between you and the principal. This relationship imposes on you legal responsibilities that continue until you resign or the Power of Attorney is terminated or revoked. You must:

  1. act according to any instructions from the principal, or, where there are no instructions, in the principal's best interest;
  2. avoid conflicts that would impair your ability to act in the principal's best interest;
  3. keep the principal's property separate and distinct from any assets you own or control, unless otherwise permitted by law;
  4. keep a record of all transactions conducted for the principal or keep all receipts of payments and transactions conducted for the principal; and
  5. disclose your identity as an agent whenever you act for the principal by writing or printing the principal's name and signing your own name as "agent" in either of the following manners: (Principal's Name) by (Your Signature) as Agent, or (your signature) as Agent for (Principal's Name).

You may not use the principal's assets to benefit yourself or anyone else or make gifts to yourself or anyone else unless the principal has specifically granted you that authority in the modifications section of this document or a Non-Statutory Power of Attorney. If you have that authority, you must act according to any instructions of the principal or, where there are no such instructions, in the principal's best interest. You may resign by giving written notice to the principal and to any co-agent, successor agent, monitor if one has been named in this document, or the principal's guardian if one has been appointed. If there is anything about this document or your responsibilities that you do not understand, you should seek legal advice.

Liability of agent: The meaning of the authority given to you is defined in New York's General Obligations Law, Article 5, Title 15. If it is found that you have violated the law or acted outside the authority granted to you in the Power of Attorney, you may be liable under the law for your violation.
