A standard general power of attorney ceases to be valid in the event of the mandator’s incapacity. Instead, you should take steps to homologate the mandate of protection.
You can revoke a general power of attorney at any time as long as you are fully capable of making decisions. It is sufficient to notify the attorney-in-fact in writing of the revocation and, if the power of attorney has been signed before a notary, to inform the notary by registered letter. It would also be prudent to inform all financial institutions where you hold bank accounts or investments of this revocation.
Under a general power of attorney, the mandatary can manage your financial affairs, real estate, and make administrative decisions on your behalf, unless restricted in the document.
