A:
Under California law, you can revoke a power of attorney (POA) if you were forced into signing it. To do this, you need to create a written revocation stating that you are canceling the POA. This document must be signed and dated by you.
Next, provide copies of the revocation to your aunt, any institutions or individuals who have the original POA, and anyone who has been dealing with your aunt under the POA's authority. It’s also wise to keep a copy of the revocation for your records.
If your aunt continues to act on your behalf despite the revocation, you may need to take further legal steps. This could involve notifying the court or seeking an attorney's assistance to ensure your rights are protected. Document every action you take and keep detailed records.
