Utah Revocation of Special Power of Attorney
About this form
The Revocation of Special Power of Attorney is a legal document used to terminate the authority granted to an appointed agent, allowing them to make decisions regarding your medical care and treatment. This form specifically revokes the directive established in Form UT-P020, which was intended for situations where you may be unable to communicate your preferences due to an injury or illness. This form differs from other power of attorney documents by focusing exclusively on revoking existing medical directives rather than establishing new ones.
