Build the notice list for revocation of an enduring power
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- From the file, list the attorney, each bank or other body the papers show holds a copy of the power, and any land registry where the power is registered. Do not write the notices.
- What the lawyer must review
- The lawyer settles and sends the notices. In Queensland, section 46 of the Powers of Attorney Act 1998 says that if an enduring document is revoked under that Division, the principal must take reasonable steps to advise all attorneys of the revocation and, if an enduring power is registered under the Land Title Act 1994, to deregister it. The NSW Government page says the principal should inform, in writing and preferably by registered post, the attorney, the bank and any other group that holds a copy or that the attorney has been dealing with, and NSW Land Registry Services if the power is registered. It says that otherwise the attorney might continue to make decisions.

- The lawyer writes the notice. The list does not become the notice.
- Confirm the principal still has capacity to revoke. That question is not decided by this list.
