7. Revocation of Standby Guardianship Prior to and Subsequent to Health Determination

1. At any time before the health determination is made, a standby guardianship may be revoked without notice to anyone by destruction or obliteration of the designation done by the designating individual with an intent to revoke or by a written revocation signed by the designating individual or by some other individual in the designating person's presence and at the designating individual's express direction and attested to and subscribed by two or more competent witnesses.
2. After the health determination has been made, the standby guardianship may be revoked by the designating individual by filing a notice of such revocation with the court in which the standby guardianship was filed as required by Code Section 29-2-10 and by mailing a copy of the notice of revocation by first-class mail to the standby guardian.

(Code 1981, §29-2-12, enacted by Ga. L. 2004, p. 161, § 1.)

Code Commission notes.

- Pursuant to Code Section 28-9-5, in 2004, in subsection (b), "made, the" was substituted for "made the" near the beginning and "filed as required" was substituted for "filed the notice as required" near the middle.
