How do you get out of a power of attorney?

Answer 1

You may revoke a power of attorney at any time by giving proper notice to the person you had authorized to act for you. A revocation of a power of attorney is not effective as to a third party relying on the power of attorney until the third party receives actual notice of the revocation.

Answer 2

To Void (also called : Revocation of a Power of Attorney OR to Revoke a Power of Attorney) a Power of Attorney in New South Wales Australia all you need to do is complete a form stating that the Principle (the person who completed/signed the Power of Attorney appointing person 'X' as the Attorney) "hereby revokes the Power of Attorney dated ........, appointing (person X ) as my Attorney. You can download the form at the following web address: http://www.lands.nsw.gov.au/_media/lands/pdf/general_lands_forms/PARevManv1.pdf When sending the revocation to your attorney it's very important to make sure you do two things :- 1) Send the revocation by certified OR registered mail so that you get an acknowledgement that the Attorney has received the revocation. 2) Keep a certified copy of the revocation with your own papers. Additionally if the Power of Attorney has been registered with the Department of Lands, you will need to contact them asking how to have the registration cancelled. Hope this helps. Jeff

Answer 3

Most States require you to send a letter addressed to the person w/the POA notifying them that their POA authority is no longer valid as of the date of the letter.

Send it Certified Return Receipt and/or Registered (a much cheaper method of obtaining a signature/proof of receipt).

AnswerThe principal can revoke a POA at any time by executing a signed and notarized revocation stating the name of the attorney-in-fact, the date it was executed and that you are hereby revoking all powers granted under the POA. A copy should be sent to the attorney-in-fact and any facility or business where it has been used in the past. If it was recorded in the land records the revocation should be recorded as well.
