  • Granting someone power of attorney gives that individual or entity the ability to act on your behalf in legal matters such as in tax court or in the filing of taxes. Although you may at some time give someone power of attorney, injury or other extenuating circumstances may require you to revoke that power.

    Reasons to Revoke

    If you are legally competent to make your own decisions in legal matters, you do not have to disclose the reasons you are revoking your power of attorney. You will need to disclose certain information, such as your name and address as well as the name and address of the legal agent you are using.

    Requirements

    Obtain a copy of your original request for power of attorney and write at the top that it has been revoked. Also place the time and the date as well as your signature at the bottom of the form. This is best done in the presence of a notary agent. Once it is signed, dated and notarized, you will need to return one copy of the form to your notary agent. If the agent you have been using for the power of attorney has used its power and been involved with any financial institutions in your name, you should send them a copy of your revocation. This will prevent the agent from using your name in the future without your knowledge. If you recorded your power of attorney with a government agency such as the county clerk's office, submit a copy of your revocation there, too.
