Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Oregon
Revocation of Power of Attorney
What is the procedure or form needed for the AGENT to revoke a Power of Attorney and/or Health Care form? I realize there are forms for the individual to revoke the agent but what if you no longer want to be the agent?

There's no such form, since you cannot be forced into acting as an agent against your wishes. If contacted as an agent, a letter stating that you refuse to serve as agent should be sufficient.

Probably the easiest way is to shred it.
However, many people would consider it polite to tell the principal that you did not want to be the attorney-in-fact (one who acts as an agent under the power-of-attorney), so that he will have the opportunity to get a substitute.
