[AZ] [AZ] How do I revoke a durable power of attorney?

About a year ago I set up a Durable Financial POA in Arizona. The principal designate was my sister. I no longer need the POA to be in effect. What do I need to do to cancel this Durable Financial POA? I did have the document notarized.

In Arizona, you do not need an attorney to cancel a Durable Financial POA, and there is usually no cost, other than optional notary or mailing fees.
Here’s what to do:

  1. Prepare a Revocation of Power of Attorney stating you revoke the prior POA (A.R.S. § 14-5505). 
  2. Sign and notarize it (A.R.S. § 41-311 & § 41-313). 
  3. Give written notice to your sister and any banks or institutions that had the original POA.
  4. Destroy or mark “REVOKED” on all old copies.

A notary or document preparer may charge $10–$25, but hiring a lawyer is not required.
