Power Of Attorney Oregon

1 attorney answer You can remove your self from both positions by resigning as the appointed attorney-in-fact also referred to as an agent. Acting as an agent for someone that has appointed you through a Power of Attorney is a voluntary act so you can withdraw/resign at any time.

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.

If the agent is acting improperly, family members can file a petition in court challenging the agent. If the court finds the agent is not acting in the principal's best interest, the court can revoke the power of attorney and appoint a guardian. The power of attorney ends at death.

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.

The revocation should include your name, a statement that you are of sound mind, and your wish to revoke the power of attorney. You should also specify the date the original power of attorney was executed and the person selected as your agent.

The answer is Yes. If you change your mind about the person you chose to make decisions for you under a durable power of attorney, you can change it. In order to make changes to your Power of Attorney, however, you must have Legal Mental Capacity.

A person who has granted someone power of attorney can freely revoke that authority or give it to someone else at any point. A power of attorney is not a contract, and thus the principalor the person making the documentcan unilaterally terminate or turn over her power of attorney to another person anytime she wishes.

Unless the power of attorney states otherwise, and they usually don't, a revocation of a POA must be made in writing. A verbal revocation may not be enough.A revocation will reference the existing POA and the current attorney-in-fact and revoke the document and the powers granted.

You can always resign. Just put in writing that you resign, deliver it to anyone you have dealt with under the PoA in the past, and to the principal and the alternate agent (if any) and you're done...
