A Georgia revocation power of attorney is important someone wishes to cancel or revoke a power of attorney they created in the past. In order for this form to be effective, they must give a copy to the agent listed in the power of attorney as well as any financial institution that may rely on that power of attorney. A revocation is not effective unless the relevant parties know about it. If a third party has no knowledge of the revocation then they can’t be held liable for relying on the authority granted in the original power of attorney.
How to Write
1 – Open The Revocation Form
