Revocation
The grantor may request a public deed of revocation of power of attorney issued by the Embassy, by another Brazilian consular office or by a notary in Brazil.
The deed must be signed by the grantor and the grantee, if both attend the Embassy, or only by the former, if the grantor appears alone.
The Embassy will register the revocation in the border of the term of the original power of attorney or, if applicable, notify the consular office or the issuing notary.
In the event of non-attendance of the grantee at the Embassy, it will be up to the grantor to promote, by legal means, the notification of the grantee so that the revocation has legal effect.
If the grantee is located in Brazil, the grantor may:
- Request the services of a registry of titles and documents, in order to provide extrajudicial notification of the grantee; or
- Appoint an attorney-in-fact to provide such notification; or
- Appoint a lawyer to request a judicial notification from the judge of the place of residence of the grantee.
If the grantor cannot attend the Embassy, s/he must request the competent judicial authority of the grantee's place of residence to forward a notification on the revocation of the power of attorney to the grantee and to the Embassy that issued it. Upon receipt of the notification, the Embassy will make the appropriate revocation annotation in the original power of attorney.
