Can I remove my Power of Attorney?
Posted on November 28, 2022 by shieldsandboris
A power of attorney is a powerful legal document that grants a broad scope of powers to the appointed individual.
If you have appointed a Power of Attorney and feel that they are no longer capable, or you believe they are no longer serving in your best interest, you can, and should, remove your Power of Attorney.
Situations can arise after you have appointed an attorney-in-fact. Issues such as failing health, diminished capacity, misuse of powers are all reasons to revoke your Power of Attorney and appoint a new individual in their place. Any changes in circumstances should always be discussed with your Estate Planning attorney.
The law requires that the Principle is of sound mind and competent to handle their affairs to revoke a Power of Attorney. The law also requires that notice is given to the individual upon removal.
Your attorney can prepare the necessary documents to legally revoke your Power of Attorney, appoint a new one and inform any essential institutions of the changes.
