Revocation of authorization can occur by which events?

• A. By either party to the authorization, the principal's death, or incapacity
• B. Only by the principal
• C. Never revocable
• D. Only by court

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that an authorization creates an agency relationship that can be terminated by either party withdrawing it, and it ends if the principal dies or becomes incapacitated. Either the principal or the agent can revoke the authorization, so long as the agreement allows withdrawal. In addition, the principal’s death or incapacity removes the principal’s capacity to maintain the authorization, so the agent’s authority ends. That combination—withdrawal by either party, plus automatic termination on the principal’s death or incapacity—best matches how revocation can occur. The other options are too narrow or incorrect: revocation isn’t limited to the principal, it isn’t never revocable, and it isn’t limited to court action.
