The Missouri Revocation of Power of Attorney is reserved for individuals who would like to conclude the authority granted in a POA. Whenever a POA document is accomplished, the principal always retains the right to revoke the powers at any given time. With that said, it is important that this be done in writing and presented to the attorney-in-fact to ensure that they are aware of the original document’s termination. The revocation form contained on this page meets all the criteria necessary to properly notify the other party. All that the principal has to do is to insert the details of the past arrangement and sign it on the indicated line (executors can substantiate this document further by providing their endorsement in front of witnesses and/or a notary public).

Agent Liability – “If the attorney-in-fact or successor attorney-in-fact intentionally acts after receiving actual notice that the power of attorney has been revoked or terminated, and thereby causes damage or loss to the principal or to the principal’s successors in interest, such attorney-in-fact or successor attorney-in-fact shall be liable to the principal or to the principal’s successors in interest, or both, for such damages, together with reasonable attorney’s fees, and punitive damages as allowed by law.” (§ 404.717(5))
