Q: How can I revoke a power of attorney from someone who's trying to take my property and Puerto Rico?
A: If you gave the Power of Attorney, then revoke it. Give Notice to the attorney in fact, and any bank, insurance, etc. that he might steal your property. It can be filed where land records or kept as notice to the world on your land titles.
A: You can revoke a power-of-attorney by subscribing a deed poll explicitly identifying the power-of-attorney you wish to revoke. It you live in the states, the poll deed must identify any real estate included in the original power of attorney. (a) The protocolized deed poll must be filed with the Office of Notary Inspections. A copy of the protocolized revocation deed poll must be sent to your current agent(s); and (b) if the Puerto Rico notary who protocolizes that deed is different than the notary who protocolized the initial power of attorney, (c) a certified copy of the revocation poll deed must be sent to the original notary to append to the original power of attorney deed in his protocol for the year in which tje power of attorney was subscribed.
