New York Revocation of Health Care Proxy
The Revocation of Health Care Proxy is a legal document used to annul a previously established health care proxy. This form provides clear notification that an individual no longer wishes for their designated agent to make healthcare decisions on their behalf. Unlike the original health care proxy form, which authorizes someone to act as an agent, this revocation specifically communicates the intention to withdraw that authority.

- A declaration stating the intent to revoke the proxy.
- Notification to relevant parties, including the agent and healthcare providers.
- Confirmation that all previous copies of the health care proxy are considered invalid.

Circumstances might include changes in personal relationships, a desire to appoint a new agent, or a reassessment of health care preferences. It ensures that all relevant parties are informed of this change in authority.
This form is intended for:
- Individuals who have previously executed a health care proxy and wish to revoke it.
