How can a veteran revoke their Power of Attorney?

A veteran can revoke their Power of Attorney through a written notice, which is a formal and clear way to communicate their intention to cancel the authority granted to the attorney-in-fact. This notice should ideally include specific details such as the date, the names of the parties involved, and a clear statement revoking the previous Power of Attorney. A written notice serves as a record of the revocation and protects the veteran's interests by ensuring that all parties, including financial institutions and other entities, are aware of the change.

While returning the original form can be a step in the process, it is not universally required or recognized as the sole method of revocation. Similarly, involving a court proceeding to revoke a Power of Attorney is not necessary in most cases, as the veteran has the right to make this change independently as long as they are competent to do so. The idea that a veteran cannot revoke a Power of Attorney is incorrect, as they maintain the authority to change or revoke it as their situation reflects their current wishes.
