 | Maryland Revocation Power of Attorney Form |
The Maryland Revocation Power of Attorney Form will act as an instrument to terminate a previously issued document transferring authority from a Principal to an Agent. The information recorded on the original document should be transcribed precisely as it was recorded when it is requested on this document. Thus, it will be a good idea to have the original document granting the power of authority being terminated be kept handy as a quick reference when filling out this form.
The Principal must simply complete the document as required and deliver the revocation to the Agent or Guardian and any others who may hold a copy of the powers document. It should be noted, this document must be notarized, once completed, to verify its authenticity.
