Who should receive the notice that a power of attorney has been revoked in Italy?

Every third party who knows of the power or has dealt with the agent: the bank and Poste Italiane, the condominium, tenants or the landlord, suppliers, and the public and private offices where the agent filed anything. Prepare one letter for each. Banks, companies and public bodies all have a PEC address, found on their websites, in INI-PEC or in the IPA index; for private persons use recorded delivery (raccomandata A/R).

What happens if third parties are not told about the revocation?

Under the Italian Civil Code a revocation not notified by suitable means cannot be held against third parties who dealt with the agent, unless they are shown to have known of it when the contract was made (article 1396). In practice a payment, a collection or a contract made by the agent after the revocation may remain valid against that third party. So warn every known third party at once and keep proof of sending.

My Italian bank has its own form to revoke a delegation on the account: should I use it?

If the bank or Poste Italiane has its own free form to revoke a delegation on an account or a signing authority, it is worth filling it in at the branch, because it updates their systems at once. This letter remains useful as a written record of the revocation and its date, for a power given outside the bank’s forms, and for the other third parties that have no form of their own.

The PDF you download is in Italian — that is the language it has to be filed in, so it is not translated. Everything on this page is here to tell you what it says.

For anyone who has revoked a power of attorney and must warn the bank, Poste Italiane, the condominium, an office or anyone else the agent dealt with. Until third parties know of the revocation, the agent’s acts can still bind you towards those acting in good faith (article 1396 of the Italian Civil Code). The letter identifies the agent and the power, asks the recipient to stop accepting the agent’s requests and to confirm receipt. Send it by PEC or recorded delivery, one per third party. Many banks also have their own form.
