KNOW ALL PERSONS BY THESE PRESENTS, that I, [principal_name] (the "Principal"), a resident of the State of [state_law], being of sound mind and under no duress, do hereby make, constitute, and appoint [agent_name] (the "Agent" or "Attorney-in-Fact") as my true and lawful Agent, to act for me and in my name, place, and stead, with respect to the powers and authority described herein.
WHEREAS, the Principal desires to appoint the Agent to act on the Principal's behalf with respect to certain matters, as more particularly described herein; and
WHEREAS, the Agent is willing to accept such appointment and to act in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this instrument; and

Subject to the type of authority designated above, the Principal hereby grants the Agent the following specific powers and authority: [powers_granted] The Agent shall exercise the foregoing powers prudently and in the Principal's best interests. In the event of any ambiguity regarding the scope of the powers granted herein, such ambiguity shall be resolved in favor of granting the Agent the authority reasonably necessary to carry out the Principal's stated intentions.

This Power of Attorney shall become effective as of 2026-04-19, subject to any springing provisions described in Section 2 above.
This Power of Attorney shall expire and terminate automatically on 2026-04-19, unless sooner revoked by the Principal or terminated by operation of law.

Any actions taken by the Agent after the expiration date shall be void and of no legal effect.
Any third party who receives a copy of this Power of Attorney, whether original, photocopy, or electronically transmitted, may rely upon the authority granted herein and may act in accordance with the Agent's instructions without liability to the Principal or the Principal's estate, heirs, or assigns.

In the New York appliance repair industry, operational continuity is critical when dealing with EPA Section 608 refrigerant compliance and OSHA safety standards. A Power of Attorney allows a trusted agent to manage your service call disputes, sign for OEM parts procurement, and handle diagnostic fee claims if you are unavailable. Our template adheres to N.Y. Gen. Oblig. Law requirements and the NY SHIELD Act, ensuring your agent can legally navigate property damage mitigation and labor warranty certifications within the specific legal landscape of the Five Boroughs and New York State.
Beyond the standard power of attorney sections, this template adds fields specific to Appliance Repair Technician:
A power of attorney (POA) is a legal document that enables one person (the principal) to designate another person (the agent or attorney-in-fact) to make decisions and act on their behalf in specified or all matters. The document serves as a legal empowerment that allows the agent to manage affairs such as financial transactions, health care decisions, and legal proceedings, thereby ensuring the principal's affairs can be managed even if they are incapacitated or unavailable to oversee them directly.
Property Damage
Contracts often include clauses limiting liability for certain types of property damage and may require customers to acknowledge the inherent risks of appliance repair. Waivers and disclaimers are also common.
Yes, provided the 'Powers Granted' clause specifically includes administrative and regulatory representation. This allows your attorney-in-fact to manage filings related to EPA Section 608 and state refrigeration licenses if you are unable to oversee them personally.
If you operate as an independent technician in NYC, your agent can use the POA to enforce payment claims under the Freelance Isn't Free Act. The document must be executed with proper notarization and witnesses as required by NY Gen. Oblig. Law to be enforceable against non-paying clients.
While the POA empowers someone to act for you, it does not replace your service contract. However, your agent can use this authority to sign settlement agreements or liability waivers related to electrical hazard claims or property damage mitigation in accordance with New York labor and lien laws.
No. To be enforceable under the New York General Obligations Law, the document must be signed by the principal, notarized by a Notary Public, and typically requires the agent's signature to be acknowledged to prevent fraud or coercion.
