Revocation

An advance directive can be revoked by the principal physically destroying it, writing “void” across the form, or directing a third party to do the same.[2] The document may also be revoked via written revocation or verbally in front of an adult witness.

Furthermore, a decree of annulment, divorce, or separation revokes the spouse or partner’s authority to act as an agent.
