Power of Attorney Revocation

 

What is it?

 

Revocation is the act that makes void the power of attorney previously made.

As it is an act based on the trust that the grantor has in the attorney, the power of attorney can be revoked at any time, if it is no longer convenient for the grantor that the attorney-in-fact continue to act on his behalf.

 

 

How is it done?

 

The power of attorney can be revoked at any time.

If the trusting relationship between the parties ceases to exist, the interested party must immediately provide for the revocation of the power of attorney or the resignation of powers so that it ceases to have effect.

It is not enough to tear up the document. As long as it is not officially canceled, the public power of attorney remains valid, unless there is a fixed term for its validity or if it has been granted for the conclusion of specific deal.

As a rule, the power of attorney loses its effects with the death or interdiction of one of the parties.

The interested party (grantor) comes to the notary public office, with his original ID and CPF, and tells the clerk that he has appointed someone he trusts (attorney), but that he no longer wants this power of attorney to be valid, and therefore, he wants to revoke it.

 

 

 

What is required?

 

 

- The interested party must attend with their original documents (ID or new driver’s license with photo, and CPF);

- Have in hands a copy of the power of attorney that will be revoked.

 

 

Attention: the public power of attorney can be revoked at any notary public office, regardless of where it was made.

 

 

 

 

How much does it cost?

 

 

The price is fixed by all in all registries in this state. To check the values, consult the notary public of your choice.
