A: In order to let her know that she is no longer his power of attorney, you can send her a copy of the document via certified mail with a return receipt requested. If the power of attorney is already filed in the county in which he resided, a revocation can be filed.

A:
To ensure that the person who had power of attorney for your brother is aware of the revocation, you should take a few steps. First, deliver a copy of the revocation of power of attorney to her. This can be done in person, but sending it via certified mail with a return receipt is advisable to have proof that she received it.
Next, notify any institutions or parties that were dealing with her under the power of attorney. This might include banks, healthcare providers, or other relevant entities. Provide them with a copy of the revocation document to ensure they are aware of the change.
While it’s not always necessary to file the revocation in court, doing so can add an extra layer of protection. You may want to check with a legal advisor to see if there are any additional steps required in your jurisdiction. This will help ensure that the revocation is fully recognized and enforceable.
