Please note that individuals who qualify as witnesses for your document cannot include your spouse, partner, child, your agent or alternate agent, or the spouse of your agent or alternate agent. Additionally, in some jurisdictions, witnesses mentioned in your will, whether as a beneficiary or executor/executrix, may be disqualified. It is advisable to refrain from selecting witnesses with any financial ties to you. The chosen witnesses must meet the legal age requirements in your jurisdiction and must possess mental capacity.
NOTICE OF REVOCATION: Effecting Your Revocation
To ensure the effectiveness of your revocation, it is essential to provide timely and confirmed notice of the revocation. This involves ensuring that the written revocation is successfully received by the agent and any third party impacted by the power of attorney (such as financial institutions, land registries, and individuals).
Mailing the revocation without confirmed receipt is insufficient. It is imperative to verify that all relevant parties have indeed received the revocation. Consider employing double-registered mail or personal delivery for this purpose.
Moreover, if your power of attorney granted authority over real estate, it is recommended to register the revocation, including a legal description of the property, with the County Clerk's Office or deed registry in the location of the property.
