Understanding this form

The Revocation of Power of Attorney for Care of Child or Children is a legal document used to cancel a previously granted authority over the care and custody of a minor or minors. This form allows the principal—typically the parent or legal guardian—to formally revoke the power vested in an agent, ensuring that no authority remains in force. It is important to use this specific form to avoid confusion with other types of Power of Attorney documents that do not pertain to child care.

  • Date of original power of attorney: The date when the initial Power of Attorney for Care and Custody was executed.
  • Agent's name: The name of the person who was given the authority to act on behalf of the declarant.
  • Statement of revocation: A clear declaration of the intent to revoke the power of attorney.

It's essential to act promptly to ensure that the previous power of attorney is officially terminated to prevent misuse of authority.

FAQ

If you decide that you want to cancel / revoke a PoA that is registered with us, you will need to tell us. A PoA can only be cancelled / revoked by you, the granter, if you are capable of making and understanding this decision.

In other words, a Revocation of Power of Attorney is written confirmation that a principal (the person who appointed power in a Power of Attorney) no longer wants or needs their attorney-in-fact (the person who was appointed power in a Power of Attorney, sometimes called an agent or donor) to act on their behalf.

A revocable POA which has only been notarized can be cancelled or revoked by issuing a notice/letter of revocation to the Attorney. Once the deed is drafted and registered, copy of it should be sent to the Attorney intimating him of the revocation.

"In case you forget to mention when and under what circumstances your power of attorney can be revoked, and if the power of attorney does not state it is irrevocable, then the power of attorney can be revoked if you execute a document cancelling it.

1 attorney answer But no, a power of attorney is not somehow going to constitute or override a custody order, and as a non-parent, he doesn't have any standing to contest custody unless your daughter's been with him (and him alone, not with her mom...

A principal can rescind a Power of Attorney at any time, even if the Power of Attorney has a specified end date, so long as the principal is competent and the attorney-in-fact is notified. Third parties (such as a bank or the Land Titles Office) should also be notified of the revocation.

The Principal can override either type of POA whenever they want. However, other relatives may be concerned that the Agent (in most cases a close family member like a parent, child, sibling, or spouse) is abusing their rights and responsibilities by neglecting or exploiting their loved one.

Until an attorney-in-fact's powers are properly revoked, they can continue to legally act for the principal. To cancel a Power of Attorney, the principal can create a document called a Revocation of Power of Attorney or create a new Power of Attorney that indicates the previous Power of Attorney is revoked.

While any new power of attorney should state that old powers of attorney are revoked, you should also put the revocation in writing. The revocation should include your name, a statement that you are of sound mind, and your wish to revoke the power of attorney.
