Narrative:
Aircraft was given direct pmm by ZNY which caused it to enter jhw sector shortly after entering my sector. My habit is to wait for the aircraft to check in before flashing the hand off to the next controller. The ZNY controller forgot to switch the aircraft to my frequency and I let the aircraft encroach on the next controllers airspace before I made a hand off. When I noticed the airspace violation occurring I called the next controller and initiated a hand off. Recommendation; initiate a hand off as soon as you realize an aircraft will enter another controllers airspace shortly after it enters yours.
