Revocation

A principal with capacity can revoke an advance directive by executing a new one.[2] Whether incapacitated or not, a principal can revoke an advance directive by a written statement, personally notifying their clinician, or by destroying the document.
Moreover, filing for a legal action such as divorce, annulment, or an order for relief from abuse involving the principal revokes the opposing party’s authority as agent.
