EasyLegalDocsUpdated 17 Oct 2025

This document is a template for revoking a previously executed Power of Attorney. It allows a principal to formally cancel the authority granted to their attorney-in-fact, making the revocation effective immediately. The template includes sections for notifying the agent and third parties, and requires witness and notary acknowledgments.

REVOCATION OF POWER OF ATTORNEY

I, [PRINCIPAL NAME], residing at [PRINCIPAL ADDRESS], hereby declare that I am of sound mind and competent to make this important legal decision. I am the principal who executed a Power of Attorney dated [ORIGINAL POA DATE], appointing [AGENT NAME] as my attorney-in-fact.

I hereby revoke, annul, and cancel the aforementioned Power of Attorney and all powers, rights, and authority granted to [AGENT NAME] under that document. This revocation is effective immediately as of [REVOCATION DATE].

Please be advised that [AGENT NAME] no longer has my authority to act on my behalf in any capacity as previously granted in the now-revoked Power of Attorney. This revocation applies to all acts, whether financial, legal, or otherwise.

ACTIONS TAKEN

I have informed [AGENT NAME] of this revocation in writing.

I have destroyed all original and copies of the previous Power of Attorney document to prevent any further or future use.

I am notifying all third parties and entities who have previously relied on the authority of the revoked Power of Attorney to cease acceptance of any actions by [AGENT NAME] on my behalf.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF REVOCATION

This revocation document has been prepared and executed in accordance with the laws of [GOVERNING LAW], and I intend this revocation to be distributed to all necessary parties to inform them of the change in legal authority concerning my affairs.

Mostly US and UK law. Some templates use general commercial terms that work across jurisdictions, and many note which law they're written for.

It depends on the situation. Templates work well for routine business agreements. For anything involving significant money, complex IP, employment, or areas you're unsure about, it's worth getting professional advice before you sign. GitLaw provides templates and tools, not legal advice.

Open any template in GitLaw and describe the change you want in the chat — 'make clause 4 mutual' or 'add a 30-day notice period', for example. GitLaw drafts the revised language and shows it as a suggested edit. You accept, reject, or keep editing from there.
