Q. What can I do if my Agent does not follow my instructions?

  • You may revoke your Power of Attorney at any time.
  • You should inform your Agent, in writing, that you are revoking the Power of Attorney. Request the return of all copies of your Power of Attorney.
  • You should notify your bank or other financial institution where your Agent has used the Power of Attorney that it has been revoked.
  • You should file a copy of the revocation with the County Clerk if your Power of Attorney has been filed in the Clerk's office.
  • Caution: If you decide to revoke a Power of Attorney, it is probably in your best interests to consult a lawyer, and arrange to have a new Power of Attorney executed.
