Is the Grantor Allowed to Terminate an Ongoing Power of Attorney Contract?

According to Clause 3, Article 140 of the 2015 Civil Code, representation by authorization terminates in the following cases:

- As agreed upon;

- The authorization period has expired;

- The authorized work has been completed;

- The person being represented or the representative unilaterally terminates the performance of the authorization;

- The person being represented or the representative, if an individual, dies; the person being represented or the representative, if a juridical person, ceases to exist;

- The representative no longer meets the conditions specified in Clause 3, Article 134 of this Code;

- Other bases that make the representation impossible to perform.

Article 569 of the 2015 Civil Code stipulates the unilateral termination of the authorization contract as follows:

- In the case of compensated authorization, the authorizing party has the right to unilaterally terminate the contract at any time but must pay compensation to the authorized party corresponding to the work that the authorized party has completed and compensate for damages; if the authorization is uncompensated, the authorizing party may terminate the contract at any time but must give the authorized party a reasonable notice period.

- The authorizing party must notify the third party in writing about the termination of the contract by the authorizing party; if not notified, the contract with the third party remains valid, except where the third party knows or should have known that the authorization contract has been terminated.

=> Thus, based on the above provisions and the information you provide, your family is entitled to terminate the performance of the contract at any time without compensation but must give the authorized party a reasonable notice period (Note: notification is necessary, so evidence of the notification should be kept to prove it later).

The above is the support content.

Respectfully!
