Description

If a principal has granted an agent/attorney in fact a power of attorney which has been recorded, any revocation of that power of attorney should also be recorded. A South Dakota Revocation of Power of Attorney for a Recorded Power of Attorney is a legal document that allows an individual to officially cancel or terminate a previously recorded power of attorney in South Dakota. This revocation ensures that the previously appointed agent or attorney-in-fact no longer holds the legal authority to act on behalf of the principal (the person granting the power of attorney). There are two main types of South Dakota Revocation of Power of Attorney for a Recorded Power of Attorney: 1. General Revocation of Power of Attorney: This type of revocation applies to the entire power of attorney document, canceling all powers and authorities granted to the agent. It effectively ends the agent's ability to act on behalf of the principal in any matter. 2. Specific Revocation of Power of Attorney: This type of revocation is more limited in scope and targets specific powers or authorities granted to the agent. The principal can identify which powers they wish to revoke while leaving other powers intact. This option allows the principal to maintain the power of attorney for certain matters while revoking authority for others. To execute a South Dakota Revocation of Power of Attorney for a Recorded Power of Attorney, the principal must follow specific guidelines outlined under South Dakota law. These typically include: 1. Use of the correct legal terminology and language to revoke the power of attorney effectively. 2. Clearly identifying the principal, agent, and the original power of attorney document being revoked. 3. Stating the intention to revoke the power of attorney explicitly and unequivocally. 4. Signing and dating the revocation document in the presence of a notary public or two witnesses, as required by South Dakota law. Once the revocation document is properly executed, it should be recorded with the same county recorder's office where the original power of attorney was recorded, ensuring that the revocation is officially recognized and on record.
