Revoke a Power of Attorney - Revocation of Power of Attorney - Recall - Power of Attorney Revoking

If you change your mind about whom you want as your agent under a power of attorney (durable or non durable, limited or specific), you may revoke the power of attorney. In fact, while you are capable, you may revoke a power of attorney at any time for any reason. Simply notify the person you have named to act as your agent (attorney in fact). For your protection, it is best to do this in writing. You also should destroy all copies of the power of attorney and notify in writing any third parties with whom this person might have done business.

Where substantial assets are at stake, you may also want to file a legal document called a "Revocation of Power of Attorney" in the public records where you live or own real state, and maybe even in the local newspaper(s) if business interests are at state.
