Can I cancel my power of attorney?
If you’re mentally capable of making a power of attorney, you can cancel or revoke it. There’s no special form for this. You write what’s called a revocation and say:
“I revoke my Power of Attorney for Personal Care that is dated [month, day, year] and effective immediately.”
Sign and witness this as you did your power of attorney.
If you make a new power of attorney, all earlier ones are cancelled. If you do not want this to happen, talk to a lawyer.
