N.Y. General Obligations Law § 5-1502n: Construction--all other matters

§ 5-1502N. Construction--all other matters. In a statutory short form

power of attorney, the language conferring general authority with

respect to "all other matters" must be construed to mean that the

principal authorizes the agent to act as an alter ego of the principal

with respect to any and all possible matters and affairs which are not

enumerated in sections 5-1502A to 5-1502M, inclusive, of this title, and

which the principal can do through an agent; provided, however, that

such authority shall not include authorization for the agent to

designate a third party to act as agent for the principal or to make

medical or other health care decisions for the principal, except as

otherwise provided in subdivision one of section 5-1502K of this title.
