NY S07416

Requires electronic wills to be filed with the New York State Unified Court System within 30 days of execution; failure to file renders the electronic will invalid

Permits witnesses to be present either physically or via "electronic presence" (real-time communication technology), though the testator's signature must still be made in physical presence if signed by another person on their behalf

Allows electronic wills to be revoked by executing a subsequent will, filing a written declaration of revocation, or requesting removal from the court system's custody

Requires electronic wills to include a specific disclosure statement in 12-point boldface type warning testators about execution requirements and revocation procedures

Takes effect 545 days after becoming law to allow time for implementing regulations and court system infrastructure
