Negligent use of someone else's property (car) sometimes forces its owners to revoke the general power of attorney previously granted to close people or business partners. Fortunately, the person who issued the power of attorney can revoke the power of attorney at any time or re-issue it to another person.
Necessary
Notification of the cancellation of the power of attorney, drawn up in person against receipt, by mail or through a notary
Instructions
Step 1
According to the current legislation, there is no special form of notification of cancellation of a power of attorney. A person who wishes to revoke a power of attorney can do this personally by taking a corresponding receipt from the person to whom it was given, where it would be evidenced that the representative has been notified of the revocation of the power of attorney. The car owner is not obliged to explain the reasons for revoking the power of attorney.
Step 2
If this is not possible, you can use mail services by sending a letter with a return notification. A similar action can be done through a notary.
Step 3
The services of a notary are especially desirable if there is a need to record the very fact and the timing of the transfer or cancellation of the power of attorney. The notary, at the request of the person who submitted the application for the revocation of the power of attorney, is obliged to issue him a certificate of the transfer of this application.
Step 4
When canceling the power of attorney, the owner of the car must notify about this fact not only the representative himself, but also third parties, in this case the corresponding registration department of the traffic police. A similar obligation falls on the shoulders of the heirs in the event of the death of the owner of the car.
Step 5
If the owner of the car revoked the power of attorney and did not warn the other party to whom the power of attorney was issued, negative legal consequences may occur. This is due to the fact that the legal consequences of the termination of the power of attorney occur at the time when the representative learned or should be aware of its cancellation. So, if the general power of attorney was canceled, for example, on May 5, and the representative found out about it only on May 25, then the car sale and purchase transaction, executed before May 25, will be recognized as legal.
Step 6
The fact of cancellation of the general power of attorney is advisable to be carried out in the presence of witnesses who could confirm it in case of disputable situations.
