An Alabama Power of Attorney Revocation Form is a document that is used by a principal to cancel a previous power of attorney document. This is done by listing the name(s) of the agent(s), date of the previous document signed, and authorizing this record in front of a notary public. Afterward, it is very important that the agent notifies all major financial partners such as any banking institutions the principal is a part of, their primary care physician, or any other parties that should be aware that the previously signed power of attorney document is no longer valid.
Termination of Agent’s Authority
- Death of the principal;
- The principal’s revocation of the power of attorney or your authority;
- The occurrence of a termination event stated in the power of attorney;
- The purpose of the power of attorney is fully accomplished; or
- If you are married to the principal, legal action is filed with a court to end your marriage, or for your legal separation, unless the Special Instructions in this power of attorney state that such an action will not terminate your authority.
