Davenport's New York Wills And Estate Planning Legal Forms - Paperback

by Robert Maxwell (Author), Beth Farmer (Author), Alex Russell (Author)

From Davenport Publishing and written by attorneys this book covers Estate Planning in New York. This is about a person doing legal documents now to later control health care, property, money, children, funeral, and more if they later are absent, sick, or dead. Ready to use legal forms for New York state are provided in the book and for free download to make binding legal documents. The New York legal forms provided are:
- - WILL RELATED FORMS - -
Form 1. Will (Standard) - a Will (also called a "Last Will And Testament") lets a person control things after their death like who gets money and property, who is Executor, and if easier legal options can be used later.
Form 2. Will (Guardian) - Will with part added to name a person to be Guardian to care for a minor child under 18 if needed (like if both parents later die) and also manage a minor child's property and money.
Form 3. Self-Proving Affidavit - optional form done with a Will to later help show it was signed right.
- - HEALTH CARE FORMS - -
Form 4. Health Care Proxy - this popular form lets a person in case they are incapacitated later so can't control things directly name someone to control health care and, also, write health care instructions.
Form 5. Living Will - does serious action of saying to not provide medical care if later the doctors think an incapacitated person is in very bad health and more care likely won't help.
Form 6. Do Not Resuscitate - these are really 2 forms that do serious act of immediately refusing health care, and these are short so paramedics can read them fast so they can be used outside any care facility.
- - GIVING POWER FORMS - -
Form 7. Statutory Short Form Power Of Attorney - lets power over money, property, and more be shared during life with someone named like a spouse or friend so they can do things to help.
Form 8. Designation Of Person In Parental Relationship - lets a parent share power over a child under age 18 with someone so they can help and make decisions about health care, school, and discipline.
Form 9. Appointment Of Agent To Control Disposition Of Remains - lets a person be named to control funeral and related matters, and this is done only if a person doesn't want closest family to do this.
Also provided is Estate Planning Helpful Information form to help person pass on information about property, money, accounts, debts, documents, accounting, passwords, codes, tips, and last wishes.
