213: Notice of revocation of power of attorney

You could also call this:

"Telling the Registrar to Cancel a Power of Attorney"

Illustration for Land Transfer Act 2017

You can tell the Registrar if you want to revoke a power of attorney. This is done by giving notice of the revocation, termination, suspension, or if it is no longer in effect. You can do this for a power of attorney that was deposited under section 212. If you deposit a new power of attorney under section 212, it does not automatically revoke an earlier one. You need to give notice to the Registrar to revoke the earlier power of attorney. This notice is important to let the Registrar know what is happening. If a power of attorney is revoked, terminated, suspended, or no longer in effect, it does not change what happened before the Registrar received the notice. Anything done under the power of attorney before the notice was received is still valid. The Registrar needs to receive the notice before any changes take effect.
