FAQ
A power of attorney (POA) is a legal document that allows you to appoint someone to act on your behalf, usually in financial or medical situations.An agent can never transfer their authority to another person unless the POA explicitly permits it.
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.
With a valid power of attorney, the trusted person you name will be legally permitted to take care of important matters for you -- for example, paying your bills, managing your investments, or directing your medical care -- if you are unable to do so yourself.
A Durable Power of Attorney acts as a permission slip, giving authority to a third party to do things on behalf of someone else who cannot do it for themselves. If done properly, the Durable Power of Attorney may very well prevent you from having to be declared incompetent in court if you something bad happens to you.
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 revoke a Medical Power of Attorney even if you cannot make your own medical decisions. To cancel it, you can: Tell the agent, in person or in writing,Sign a new Medical Power of Attorney.
