 | Rhode Island Revocation Power of Attorney Form |
The Rhode Island Revocation Power of Attorney Form is a useful document for Principals who have executed a power of attorney that must now be discontinued, terminated, and/or revoked. This form will provide the wording required for a Principal to legally release the Agent or Attorney-in-Fact it is targeting of the authority granted by the power of attorney it names. Such an action must be in the form of a written notice stating the decision and providing verification of authenticity by use of the Principal’s notarized signature. As of the date stated on the revocation form, its presentation will release the Agent from all responsibility and strip this entity of Principal Authority. The document must be delivered or served to the Agent and all other interested parties who hold copy of the previously issued power of attorney or power of authority.
