Can a Continuing Power of Attorney or Welfare Power of Attorney be revoked or terminated?
You can revoke a Continuing Power of Attorney or Welfare Power of Attorney at any time after it has been registered, as long as you’re still mentally capable. If you want to do so, you should consult a solicitor to draft a Deed of Revocation. A Continuing Power of Attorney or Welfare Power of Attorney will be terminated: • where you and the Attorney are married to each other, upon the granting of a Decree of Separation or divorce to either party or a declarator of nullity of marriage, unless the CPA or WPA states otherwise; or • on the appointment of a guardian with powers related to those conferred in the CPA or WPA.
