New York Gets New Power of Attorney Legislation

Although not strictly speaking estate litigation news -- New York has a new power of attorney statute that makes sweeping changes to current law. As signed by the Governor, Ch. 644, Laws 2009, was to be effective on March 1, 2009. Legislation has recently been signed postponing the effective date until September 1, 2009.

New forms will be required and the attorney-in-fact will be required to sign the power of attorney.

I will post a link to the new legislation when one is available.
