New York Revocation of Statutory Power of Attorney
Overview of this form
The Revocation of Statutory Power of Attorney is a legal document used to cancel a previously established Durable General Power of Attorney. This form specifically revokes the authority granted in Form NY-P012, allowing the Declarant to regain control over their legal and financial decisions. Unlike a General Power of Attorney, which grants rights to manage various affairs, this revocation form serves to revoke those rights, ensuring that the previous agent no longer has authority to act on behalf of the Declarant.
