Power of Attorney for Healthcare Revocation
Power of Attorney for Healthcare Revocation
A Power of Attorney for Healthcare Revocation is a legal document used to cancel or terminate a previously executed healthcare power of attorney. The document must be signed by the principal (the person who granted the power of attorney) and may require witnesses or notarization, depending on state law. The revocation document effectively nullifies the authority granted to the agent under the original healthcare power of attorney and prevents them from making any further medical decisions on behalf of the principal. The Power of Attorney for Healthcare Revocation is an important tool for ensuring that individuals maintain control over their healthcare choices and can change their designated decision-makers as needed.
