Important: This page provides general state-law information, not legal advice. It addresses an ordinary transaction or revocation using the Harner Legal Forms document. Laws, agency forms, local procedures, mandatory notices, consumer rules, and institutional practices can change. State and federal law control if they differ from this summary or the form instructions.
Recommended steps
- The Principal should sign while having capacity and identify the Power of Attorney and Agent being revoked.
- Deliver the revocation to the Agent and every bank, broker, insurer, adviser, government office, or other person that received or relied on the Power of Attorney.
- Retrieve copies when practical and do not rely on destruction alone as notice.
- If the Power of Attorney was recorded or used for real estate, record the revocation in the appropriate land records and obtain state-specific advice.
Scope of this chart
Revocation is generally effective between the Principal and Agent when communicated, but third parties may remain protected until they have actual knowledge. A new Power of Attorney does not always revoke an older one automatically.
