 | Delaware Revocation Power of Attorney Form |
The Delaware Revocation Power of Attorney Form is used when a Power of Attorney previously granted must be terminated. The circumstances regarding the revocation of such a document may depend on a variety of factors, not the least of which is the type of authority being revoked, however this document will serve as a valid instrument of revocation when issued correctly. This document will require the acknowledgement of a Notary Public. In many instances, having such a document notarized is mandatory. Thus, an area has been provided purely for this purpose. Once the process of completing, signing, and notarizing this paperwork has been completed, it must be presented to every interested party (i.e. the agent whose power is being revoked or a financial institution that recognizes such power). If possible, the Principal issuing this revocation should gather the documents being revoked.
