How is the durable power of attorney revoked?
• You can change your mind at any time, for any reason, as long as you are of sound mind. You’ll need draft and date a statement of revocation that includes your name, a statement of your competence, the date you initially drafted the power of attorney, the name of the person you assigned as an agent, and your signature. You can also use this form to revoke your letter of attorney and appoint another agent at the same time. Distribute the revocation to the initial agent and any third parties with whom the he or she has dealt. • The court can invalidate the document if it determines you to have been incompetent when you signed it. • If your spouse is your agent and you get divorced, the power of attorney terminates immediately. • If not revoked, your durable power of attorney will terminate when you die.
