Revocation of Power of Attorney Form | |
A revocation is a form that is used to terminate a current power of attorney document that is in existence whether it be for durable (financial or medical), limited, vehicle, tax, real estate, child, or any other commonly used circumstance where the designation of an individual was appointed. After signing, recommended to be in the presence of a notary public, the document should be sent to the agent and any secondary agent (if applicable). In addition, the revocation should be given to any party that should be informed of the cancellation.
If the agent continues to use the designation of agent after being notified of the power of attorney’s termination he or she may be found guilty of fraud.
