How can I prepare questions about ending a representative’s authority?

Ask an independent lawyer how to review an existing authority and communicate any proposed change safely.

Review withdrawal before contacting others

Give your independent Greek lawyer the complete authority document, any amendments and a list of organisations where it has been used. Describe why you want to change the arrangement and identify any pending appointments, signatures, payments or transactions.

Ask what the authority currently permits, whether substitution or delegation is involved, and what steps may be needed to withdraw or limit it. The lawyer should distinguish notifying the representative from any formal action or notification needed for third parties. Do not assume that retrieving a paper copy, cancelling an appointment or sending an email settles the matter.

Discuss who should receive notices, how delivery should be evidenced and how outstanding originals or funds will be accounted for. Ask separately about actions already taken and transactions still in progress. If there is concern about misuse, explain the facts promptly and request advice on protective steps rather than making accusations in broad circulation. Keep a record of professional advice, authorised notices and acknowledgements.

Practical considerations

  • Supply the full authority and amendments.
  • List pending uses and third-party recipients.
  • Ask about completed actions as well as future ones.
