FAQ
The Arkansas Revocation Statutory Form Power of Attorney lets you formally revoke a previously granted power of attorney. It overrides the original POA’s provisions, restoring your control over decisions about your property and finances. Use it when you want to terminate the attorney-in-fact’s authority and change who handles your matters.
Include the declarant’s name and signature; a reference to the original power of attorney (original Form AR-P010); a clear revocation statement; a notarial acknowledgment; and the date fields for when the POA was executed and when the revocation is signed. Ensure all information is accurate and legible before signing.
Yes. The form includes a notarial acknowledgment, so the revocation should be signed in the presence of a notary public and include the notary’s signature and seal for validation. Notarization helps confirm the revocation’s authenticity and supports its acceptance by third parties.
In the revocation, reference the original power of attorney by its form AR-P010 so it identifies exactly which POA is being revoked. This helps ensure the revocation applies to the correct document and prevents confusion if more than one POA exists.
Fill in the date the original POA was executed and the date the revocation is signed. Providing both dates helps establish when the authority began and when the revocation becomes effective, guiding subsequent actions and preventing disputes about which powers were in effect at a given time.
This form is Arkansas-specific and uses the original AR-P010 form reference, along with a required notarial acknowledgment. It also prescribes a defined set of fields (declarant’s name/signature, AR-P010 reference, revocation statement, date fields) to ensure the revocation is clear and enforceable within Arkansas.
