The New Jersey Revocation of Power of Attorney withdraws the power(s) granted to an attorney-in-fact in a previously executed POA document. When a contract is drawn up to provide permissions for another regarding financial, health, legal, or parental matters, there may come a time when the extended privileges are no longer beneficial to the principal party. Once the time comes to nullify the arrangement, this designated form can be utilized to retract the issuance of the original.
