New York Revocation of Financial Power of Attorney
Date signed: [__/__/____]
I, [PRINCIPAL'S FULL LEGAL NAME], of [STREET ADDRESS, CITY, NEW YORK ZIP], revoke in full the financial power of attorney that I signed on [__/__/____], identifying the agent as [AGENT'S FULL LEGAL NAME] and any co-agents or successor agents as [NAMES / NONE] (the “Revoked Power”).
Additional identifying details of the Revoked Power: [DOCUMENT TITLE; NOTARY DATE; OTHER DETAILS].
If the Revoked Power to convey real property was recorded under RPL § 294: [COUNTY; RECORDING OFFICE; DATE; BOOK/PAGE OR INSTRUMENT NUMBER / NOT APPLICABLE].
I revoke every grant of authority in the Revoked Power, subject to the notice effects stated in N.Y. Gen. Oblig. Law § 5-1511(5). The agent, co-agents, and successor agents identified above shall cease acting under it and return or securely destroy copies in their possession after receiving this revocation. This instrument does not appoint a new agent and does not revoke any other power of attorney unless that other instrument is expressly identified here: [OTHER INSTRUMENTS EXPRESSLY REVOKED / NONE].
I direct that this signed and dated revocation be delivered to each agent and successor agent, and that written notice be given to each bank, financial institution, title company, and other person known to have received or relied on the Revoked Power. A later power of attorney, standing alone, does not revoke this earlier one under N.Y. Gen. Oblig. Law § 5-1511(6).

Acknowledgment for recording, if the real-property power was recorded under RPL § 294
Complete this certificate before a New York notary or other authorized officer when recording this revocation. Delivery of a signed and dated revocation to the agent under N.Y. Gen. Oblig. Law § 5-1511(3)(b) does not depend on this recording certificate. For an acknowledgment taken outside New York, use the certificate required for that place and confirm the recording office's requirements.

Notice and delivery record
N.Y. Gen. Oblig. Law § 5-1511(3)(b) permits personal delivery to the agent or sending a signed and dated revocation by mail, courier, electronic transmission, or facsimile to the agent's last known address. The agent's authority is not terminated as to that agent until receipt under subsection (5)(b). Third parties who have not received actual notice and act in good faith may continue to bind the principal under subsection (5)(a). A financial institution is deemed to have actual notice after a reasonable opportunity to act on written notice received at the office where an account is located.

Estate planning documents decide what happens to your property, your children, and your medical care when you cannot make those decisions yourself. Wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and health care directives each serve different purposes and each have to meet state law requirements for signing, witnessing, and notarization. A document that looks fine on the page but was not executed correctly can be rejected in probate, which is exactly when it is too late to fix.
