New York Trusts & Estates Law Blog

One of the strange, often amusing, things about keeping a blog is the ability to see what people were searching for when they stumbled across the blog.  Not that analytics should necessarily dictate content, but since many visitors seem to be looking for New York’s new Power of Attorney and Statutory Major Gifts Rider forms, I figured I’d point frustrated googlers in the right direction.

The New York State Bar Association has the new POA and SMGR forms for download in Word or Wordperfect, along with suggested clauses for the Modifications sections.  The forms cost $20 but are free for NYSBA members.

You can download the forms here.  I also posted a link under the blog’s “Links & Resources,” a page I will add content to as I go along.
