Legal Question in Elder Law in Missouri

Re: Agent wants to revoke Durable Power of Attorney

You do not need to do anything unless you agreed in writing to be his agent. Missouri law does not require you to act as a power of attorney regardless of who appoints you.

Section 404.705 (4)

A person who is appointed an attorney in fact under a durable power of attorney has no duty to exercise the authority conferred in the power of attorney, whether or not the principal has become disabled or incapacitated, is missing or is held in a foreign country, unless the attorney in fact has agreed expressly in writing to act for the principal in such circumstances. An agreement to act on behalf of the principal is enforceable against the attorney in fact as a fiduciary without regard to whether there is any consideration to support a contractual obligation to do so...
