A California revocation of power of attorney is a legal tool used when an individual who has granted a power of attorney wishes to cancel or revoke it. The individual must give notice of the revocation to the original agent and any financial or medical institutions that may have acted or be likely to act in the future on the original agreement.

Financial Powers

A financial power of attorney terminates when:

  • The principal provides a written statement in accordance with the power of attorney;[1]
  • The purpose of the power of attorney has been completed;
  • The principal dies (unless a durable power of attorney was executed); or
  • The agent resigns, is removed, or becomes incapacitated.[2]

Medical Powers

An advance directive can be revoked by the principal at any time by:[3]

  • Signing a written revocation; or
  • Personally informing the supervising health care provider.
