[AZ] [AZ] How do I revoke a power of attorney?
So I want to revoke my niece’s full power of attorney over me and I know around the date I signed the paper but not the exact date as it was 8 years ago. And she has full power of attorney, not just power of attorney over one thing.

Great, thanks. Maricopa County has instructions and forms that can be used to revoke a power of attorney. Those can be located at Power of Attorney - Revocation Form.
Even though they're not specific to Navajo County, they're also not specific to Maricopa County and can likely be used without issue. There is a revocation form at that link. The form must be signed in front of a notary and distributed to the interested parties.
You should keep the original and provide copies to the other parties. The person whose authority you are revoking would need to receive a copy of the revocation. If possible, the original power of attorney should be marked as being revoked with a date of revocation written on it. This form allows you to designate a new agent; however, as it does not list any specific duties, it might be helpful to draft a new power of attorney for the new agent also. (Maricopa Superior Court, POA Revocation Instructions)
Without knowing the exact date of the previous power of attorney is not likely fatal, especially as you were not able to get a copy of it from your niece. Listing an approximate date of the last power of attorney form would likely be sufficient.
Does this make sense? Please note that all responses are general information and do not form an attorney-client relationship.

I understand your situation. Do you have a copy of the power of attorney document that specifies the terms and conditions of the agreement?
No, only she does and she never gave me a copy of it.
Lexi, Chatbot
Have there been any specific incidents or reasons that have led you to consider revoking your niece’s full power of attorney over you after 8 years
She had cut contact with me multiple times in the past 8 years and not given any reason as to why, and I found out she was on the insurance for my house and not me and I had to change it back.
She doesn’t get along with my other niece that lives with me and has continuously tried to remove her from me for years.

Thank you. Do you happen to know if the power of attorney is a durable power of attorney?
I have no idea what that is.
I just know that she has power of attorney over everything.
Sarah K Esq.
Without having a copy of it and with it being from 8 years ago, I can totally understand not recalling the details.
With the power of attorney she just gave me a paper to sign then went and gave it to her lawyer
Sarah K Esq.
Hmm, that sounds strange. Are you in Maricopa County or a different county?
I’m in Navajo County, she’s in Maricopa County
