Yes.
Deliver to the holder of the power (the attorney in fact) a written document which states that his power is revoked.
Also, get back the Power of Attorney document given to the attorney in fact.
Re: revocable POA
A POA can be revoked at any time. Simply inform the person with power that it is no longer effective. IF you have any concerns that he will abuse the power in the mean time before he returns the papers to you, inform all institutions dealing with the AIF that the power is no longer effective.
Should you like to discuss this or any other legal matter, you can e-mail me for more information about low cost face-to-face, on-line, or a telephone consultation with a lawyer in our office.
