On December 15, 2020 NY enacted revisions to its laws government statutory short form powers of attorney. The new law replaces “exact wording” with “substantially conforms to the wording;” eliminates the Statutory Gifts Rider; changes the signing requirement; has changes to construction sections; provides for an acceptance of and reliance time line; and provides for damages and attorney fees when a form is rejected with no reasonable basis.  It will also cover changes to the form, best practices, and suggestions for the modification section to provide for gifting.
