A Delaware power of attorney revocation is used when you want to cancel a previously written power of attorney. You can use this form to cancel any POA you may have written in the past, but you must be clear on which one you are canceling and you must let anyone who might rely on the original know that you have revoked it. Someone who doesn’t know you have revoked it will not be at fault for relying on the original form as a genuine representation of your directives.
