Virginia Revocation of Financial Power of Attorney
Virginia Revocation of Financial Power of Attorney
I, [PRINCIPAL'S FULL LEGAL NAME], of [ADDRESS], revoke in full the power of attorney I signed on [DATE] appointing [AGENT'S FULL NAME] as my agent and [SUCCESSOR AGENTS, IF ANY] as successor agents. The power of attorney being revoked is identified further as follows:
Title or description of original instrument: [TITLE]
Other execution or recording details, if any: [NOTARY DATE; RECORDING JURISDICTION, BOOK AND PAGE OR INSTRUMENT NUMBER / NONE]
This revocation includes every grant of authority in that identified power of attorney. The former agent and any successor agent shall cease acting under it and shall return all copies in their possession or control to me at [ADDRESS]. This revocation does not itself appoint a new agent.
Other powers of attorney I have signed: [IDENTIFY WHETHER ANY OTHER POWER IS TO REMAIN IN EFFECT OR BE REVOKED BY A SEPARATE EXPRESS INSTRUMENT]. A later power of attorney does not, by itself, revoke an earlier one unless it says so; this document expressly revokes the instrument identified above.
I direct that a copy of this signed revocation be delivered promptly to the agent, each successor agent, and every financial institution or other person known to have received or relied on the identified power of attorney. A recipient should stop accepting the former agent's acts under that power after receiving notice of this revocation.
Principal's signature: ______________________________ Date: [__/__/____]
Principal's printed name: [NAME]
Notice address and telephone: [ADDRESS; NUMBER]

Estate planning documents decide what happens to your property, your children, and your medical care when you cannot make those decisions yourself. Wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and health care directives each serve different purposes and each have to meet state law requirements for signing, witnessing, and notarization. A document that looks fine on the page but was not executed correctly can be rejected in probate, which is exactly when it is too late to fix.
