Revoking Power Of Attorney

Summary

To revoke a power of attorney in Washington, create a revocation document, notify the agent, and provide copies to relevant institutions. If you never signed a POA, confirm its existence with institutions. If your brother took your car under a POA, but a notarized document states your friend owns it, he may have overstepped. Consult a legal expert to challenge the POA and report unauthorized actions. If the bank confirms no repossession order, legal intervention may be necessary. Consider connecting with local lawyers for assistance.

Hi John! Could you please tell me a bit more about your legal issue so I can assist you better?
How can i revoke power of attorney if my brother has that over me?
To revoke a power of attorney in Washington, you can follow these steps:
- Create a Revocation of Power of Attorney document.
- Notify your brother in writing.
- Provide copies to any institutions involved.
- Record the revocation in the county records if the original was recorded.
Do you need more details on any of these steps?
im confused how he got POA over me if i never signed anything
Hi John! It sounds like there might be some confusion about the process. Generally, a Power of Attorney (POA) requires your signature to be valid.
- Did your brother present any documents that you might not remember signing?
- Have you checked with any institutions to see if they have a copy of the POA on file?
These steps could help clarify the situation.
no im just confused because he now has poa and suddenly took my car. Can he do that?

John, a Power of Attorney (POA) does grant certain rights, but it shouldn't allow for the unauthorized taking of your property if you haven't signed or agreed to it. Here are some steps you might consider:
- Confirm with institutions if a POA document exists.
- Consult with a legal expert to challenge the validity of the POA.
- Report the unauthorized taking of your car to the authorities.
Would you like more information on contesting the POA?
The thing is, before he took POA, i made a notarized document/agreement with my friend, in which states , that she has been making the payments for that car including insurance payments as well, and she is the owner of the vehicle as well. The POA was done months after that agreement. So in a way, he took HER car. Was my brother legally authorized to do that?
Case Rating: *
Your brother likely wasn't legally authorized to take the car if the notarized document states your friend is the owner. I would suggest:
- Providing your friend with a copy of the notarized document.
- Consulting with a legal expert to challenge your brother's actions.
Would you like more information on seeking legal assistance?
well yea she knows. Shes confused. In my brothers perspective, he thinks hes in his right since he has POA of me , so technically he thinks he can take the car, since the car title is registered in my name

John, given that the car title is in your name, but there's a notarized document stating your friend is the actual owner, your brother may have overstepped his authority. You should definitely consult a legal expert to challenge his actions.
Would you like assistance in finding a local lawyer to help you with this matter?
Another note, when he picked up the car, when confronted, he said the bank was reppoing the car because no payments were being made. But when we called the bank, the banks said NO repo order was sent for the car!

I called the police and the cop said he can’t do anything because my brother showed him the POA document, making him owner of all my assets. including the car. Is he right?
