Typically anything written which indicates you are revoking it should be sufficient. It should be delivered to your agent. I would also deliver it to any banks or other places where your agent may use the POA.

Affidavit of Heirship
New York
What are inheritance rights for niece and nephew?
My Aunt passed away July 9, 2021 and she had a will. On the will she stated that she wants everything left to my mother whom is deceased as well and executer of estate is my sister.
Jane C.
Does the will have a provision that states who will receive your aunt's assets if your mother predeceased her? If not, I believe the rules of inheritance found in the New York Statute will govern. https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/laws/EPT/4-1.1. Your sister needs to go to the Probate Court and/or consult an estate attorney.

Trust
Florida
Can a trust be contested after the death of the person who created it?
Can a trust be contested after the death of the person who created it? I recently discovered that my late grandmother had created a trust before her passing, and I am concerned about its validity and the distribution of assets. There are certain family members who were excluded from the trust, and I suspect they may try to contest it now that my grandmother is no longer alive. I want to understand my rights and options in case a dispute arises regarding the trust.
Lori B.
You will need to review the Trust Agreement carefully. A Trust usually cannot be contested after the grantor dies. If the trust agreement was drafted correctly, it appoints a successor trustee to take over the trust and the trust assets. In other words, the trust continues to operate.

Can I create an estate plan without the help of a lawyer?
I am in my mid-fifties and have recently been diagnosed with a terminal illness. I have a large estate that I would like to be distributed to my family and friends when I pass away. I have done some research and understand the importance of having an estate plan, but I am not sure if I am able to create one without the help of a lawyer. I am looking for more information that will help me make the best decision for my family and myself.
Philip M.
You can certainly go ahead and fill out simple forms to complete some easy estate planning documents like wills, but for more complicated documents like a trust (which is required if you want to avoid probate) it can get a little trickier. Further, anyone can fill in the blanks, but an experienced attorney will be able to explain what the document does and how it meets your wishes best. Hope this helps.

Will
Pennsylvania
Are any ContractsCounsel lawyers open to serving as an executor for my estate?
I'm 49, and I live in Pennsylvania. I'm not married, and I don't have any kids. My net worth around $2 million. I understand that if any lawyer is open to this arrangement, he/she would need to screen me before agreeing to serve as my executor.
Kenneth G.
Pennsylvania ethics rules permit a lawyer to serve as executor for a client, subject to PA RPC 1.7 conflict disclosure and PA RPC 1.8 Comment guidance, including advising of the lawyer's financial interest and the availability of alternative candidates. An engagement would be a long-tail fiduciary commitment, and the executor role should sit in a separate engagement letter with full Rule 1.7 disclosures, written informed consent, succession provisions, and confirmed fiduciary insurance. The engagement is ethically allowed, but there are enough structural hurdles with having a lawyer serve as executor that one may want to consider a bank or institutional executor in some cases.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
