Gave someone power of attorney and now need to take it back? This is the document that does it — cleanly, on the record, and effective right away. A revocation of power of attorney is how you (the principal) formally cancel the authority you once handed an agent (your attorney-in-fact), so banks, doctors and the agent themselves stop relying on the old power. You pick the scope and PaperKit builds the right instrument: REVOKE THE ENTIRE POA (end all of the agent's authority); REVOKE ONLY SPECIFIC POWERS (pull back part of it and leave the rest in force); or REVOKE AND APPOINT A NEW AGENT (cancel the old power and name a replacement). Then choose which kind of power you're undoing — a FINANCIAL power of attorney (money and property; notice goes to banks and financial institutions) or a HEALTH-CARE power of attorney / medical proxy (notice goes to your physicians and providers). PaperKit references the original POA by date, terminates the former agent's authority, and lays out the directives that actually make a revocation stick: notice to your former agent, notice to the third parties who relied on the old power, and recording the revocation where the original was recorded — plus whether it's effective immediately or on a date you set. It's self-drafted: you review and e-sign online, then take the clean PDF to a notary (a revocation is executed with the same formalities as the power it revokes). Deliver signed copies to your former agent and everyone holding the old power — a revocation isn't effective against a third party until they have actual notice. (Revoking a financial POA doesn't touch a separate health-care POA, and vice versa. Signing, notarization and notice rules vary by state; consider an attorney.)
The big lever — cancel the whole power of attorney, pull back only certain powers, or revoke it and name a replacement.
End all of your agent's authority. The whole power of attorney is terminated and your former agent can no longer act for you in any matter.
This decides who gets notice — banks and financial institutions, or your doctors and health-care providers.
You're revoking a FINANCIAL power of attorney (money and property). Notice goes to banks, financial institutions and anyone who relied on it — this does not affect a separate health-care power of attorney.
Identify the existing power of attorney and the agent you appointed, so the revocation references it correctly.
The operative act this instrument performs.
The same person who granted the power of attorney. You draft and e-sign this revocation; it should be notarized on execution, like the power it revokes.
What makes a revocation actually stick. Uncheck anything you'd rather leave out.
A real, section-by-section revocation. The scope drives the operative act; the kind decides who gets notice. Publish to get a hosted link you can e-execute online.

A revocation of power of attorney is a template for convenience, not legal advice. It withdraws authority you previously granted to an agent and must generally be executed with the SAME formalities as the power it revokes — your signature and, because a power of attorney is usually notarized, a notary acknowledgment. A revocation is generally not effective against a bank, health-care provider or the agent until that party has ACTUAL NOTICE of it, so deliver signed copies to your former agent and everyone holding the old power; if the power of attorney was recorded, record the revocation in the same office. Revoking a financial power of attorney does not affect a separate health-care power of attorney (and vice versa). Formalities and notice rules vary by state — PaperKit is not a law firm; consult a qualified attorney.
