An Illinois power of attorney revocation cancels a previously authorized power of attorney in Illinois. It should be noted that in order for this power of attorney revocation to be effective, the parties involved must be aware of the revocation. It is therefore important that the principal is sure their agent and relevant financial institutions are aware of the revocation, and better yet, have copies in their files. A person who is not aware of the revocation is not liable for relying on the original power of attorney.
