Michigan Power of Attorney Revocation Form is designed to terminate or cancel a previously authorized power of attorney. It is the first step in a two-part process. That is, filling out a revocation is generally insufficient if no one knows that you executed it. You also must inform others who have been relying on the original document, especially the agents it delivered principal authority to. If people don’t know it’s revoked, they must rely on the old document and will do so without penalty.

Laws – § 700-5504
