  1. General Obligations Law
  2. Article 5. Creation, Definition and Enforcement of Contractual Obligations
  3. Title 15-A. Designation of Person In Parental Relation

§ 5-1554. Revocation of designation. A parent may revoke a designation

by notifying, either orally or in writing, the designee or a school,

health care provider, or health plan to which the designation has been

presented, or by any other act evidencing a specific intent to revoke

the designation. A designation shall also be revoked upon the execution

by the parent of a subsequent designation. Revocation by one parent

authorized to execute such a designation shall be deemed effective and

complete revocation of a designation pursuant to this title. A designee

who receives notification from a parent of any such revocation shall

forthwith notify any school, health care provider or health plan to

which a designation pursuant to this title has been presented. A parent

may directly notify any such school, health care provider or health plan

of the revocation, in which case the failure of the designee to notify

such entities of the revocation shall not make revocation ineffective.
