    Durable power of attorney
    I would like to have my domestic partner (legal) to make decisions for me
    Should I stroke out or something equally as devastating. I would like her
    To make medical as well as financial decisions even though I have a will
    And someone else as executor. Do I have to go to a lawyer for this?
    I live in New York

    Health Care Proxy - Appointing Your Health Care Agent in New York State

    That will take care of the health care issues. You can then create a limited power attorney that will go into affect only while you are not competent to make your own decisions.

    It answers part of it. I was asking if I need to go and see a lawyer for this or can I get the forms online.

    You don't need an attorney, though it would be advisable to consult one.
