Idaho Revocation of General Durable Power of Attorney
About this form
The Revocation of General Durable Power of Attorney is a legal document used to invalidate a previously executed General Durable Power of Attorney. This form allows you, the Declarant, to formally revoke the authority granted to an agent (attorney-in-fact) who has been authorized to make decisions on your behalf regarding financial and property matters. Unlike a General Durable Power of Attorney, which extends powers to your agent, this revocation specifically states that these powers are no longer in effect.
Form components explained
- Name of the Declarant who is revoking the power of attorney.
- Date of the original General Durable Power of Attorney execution.
- Name of the attorney-in-fact/agent being revoked.
- Declaration of revocation and reference to the prior power of attorney.
- Date of the revocation and signature of the Declarant.
When to use this document
You should use this form when you wish to revoke an existing General Durable Power of Attorney. This might be necessary if circumstances change, such as the relationship with the agent deteriorating, if you no longer require an agent to handle your affairs, or if you wish to appoint a new agent. This form ensures that any previous authority granted is legally terminated.
