Revoking or Replacing a Power of Attorney

Law Tram’s Wills and Powers of Attorney Consultation simplifies the process by connecting you with licensed Australian lawyers who can offer tailored legal advice specific to your situation. This free, fully online, and obligation-free service ensures you receive expert guidance every step of the way.

Circumstances Change — Your Legal Appointments Should Too

A power of attorney gives another person authority to make decisions for you, but that authority can be revoked or replaced at any time while you still have capacity. If your relationship with your attorney changes, or if they are no longer able to act, it is important to formally update your document to avoid confusion or misuse.

A lawyer can help you revoke a power of attorney correctly, notify the relevant parties, and prepare a new appointment that meets all legal requirements. They can also ensure the change is properly witnessed and registered where required.

Law Tram connects you with experienced lawyers who can ensure your power of attorney accurately reflects your current wishes and circumstances.
