Registered power of attorney cancelling

Hello, 

I had given power of attorney to my relative with all the documents. The power of attorney was registered in the registrar office. 

Now I want to cancel power of attorney but I don't have any documents with me. 

Do I need documents when cancelling registered power of attorney? 

What are the documents required when cancelling power of attorney? 

What is the procedure and is their a template / form to cancel it? 

 

Thanks

John

For cancellation of registered power of attorney you first issue a legal notice to the power agent and instruct him to be present before the concerned sub registrar office on a date fixed for the purpose along with the power of attorney deed in his possession. 

You may obtain a certified copy of the deed from the registrar office and keep it safe. 

After that you can jointly execute the registered cancellation deed to cancel the power of attorney deed. 

You may be in touch with a deed writer to prepare the cancellation deed.

Thanks for the details.

The other person will not cocoperate and will not come to cancel the registration.

Can i cancel it my own without other person coming to registrar?

Thanks

You are required to get a cancellation of PoA deed registered, the attorney is to be intimated in writing and published in local newspaper.

Yes.  The cancellation of POA shall be registered.  You can issue a notice to the other person through the local newspaper.  Also, you have to inform the attorney holder not to act as Power-Agent and also to the Sub Registrar where the original power of attorney is registered by a registered post.

The principal may revoke the POA in the following situation:

  • On his/her own will by express revocation of authority.
  • When the purpose of the POA has come to an end.
  • The principal must draft a deed/notice of revocation of the PoA. The deed must mention the reason for which the POA is being revoked, the effective date of the revocation and the consequences of such an action.
  • Such a deed/notice of revocation must be duly served upon the agent for proceeding with the revocation procedure.
  • The deed/notice of revocation should be published in a local or national newspaper so as to inform persons with whom the agent is interacting on behalf of the principal about the revocation.
  • The same authority which registered the POA will have to register the cancellation deed of the POA.
  • A copy of the cancellation deed of the POA should be sent to the agent to inform him/her of such registration of revocation.
  • A paper publication should be of the registered cancellation deed of the POA to inform the public in general that the agent’s power has been revoked.
  • The copies of the cancellation deed of the POA can also be sent to persons with whom the agent has been interacting on behalf of the principal so that they cease any business or dealings with the agent.

To knowledge and understanding, the registered PoA could be cancelled by registering the Requisition Deed under intimation to the concerned Agent(s) and others, if any, concerned with the transactions based on the PoA.
