[WSBARP] Revocation of Power of Attorney--Formalities Needed?

[Jayne Marsh Gilbert]

 I would recommend the Principal revoke using the same formalities used in executing the power of appointment.

But I believe that a poa that contains its own requirements for revocation works just as well.

Hello, Listmates.
 
  
 
I’m supposing this is a basic question, but I don’t know the answer. Under RCW RCW 11.125.100, a POA (or the authority of a particular agent) terminates when the principal revokes the POA (and gives the agent notice).
 
  
 
The POA requires a notary or two witnesses to the principals signature. Does a revocation require the same formality?
