Hi Neil, my name is Sharon, I’m 67yrs of age, I lost my husband six yrs ago this September but was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and was told I had it for about six months earlier, but with the grieving it speeded it up a bit more, I’m fine can still look after myself living in a wee bungalow in N Ireland very independent but I’d got my son Andre and my daughter Samantha to be my power of attorneys my son is fine with it but my daughter has fallen out with me and doesn’t want to have anything more to do with me only get on with her own life, so I’d like her to be removed from the position of my power of attorney and just keep my son Andrew on board with me, so how do I go about taking her off? Please.
Hi Sharon, and thank you so much for reaching out with your query on how to cancel a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA). You would need to submit a Deed of Revocation to the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG). This allows the Donor of the LPA (you) to revoke (cancel) the appointment in favour of certain Attorneys. If you are in any doubt do contact the OPG Helpline before sending them the Deed of Revocation and they will confirm the exact current procedure. QLAW are expert Lasting Power of Attorney Solicitors and could help you with this, but we would of course charge. If you would like our help, do let us know. Meantime, the OPG tel number is 0300 456 0300. And, you can email them at customerservices@publicguardian.gov.uk Thank you again for your query about how to cancel a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA).
