Ch. 468, 46 Atl. 12. Revocation by act of the party is an intentional or voluntary revocation. The principal instancos occur in the case of authorities and powers of attorney and wills. A revocation in law, or constructive revocation, is produced by a rule of law, irrespectively of the intention of the parties. Thus, a power of attorney is in general revoked by the death of the principal. Sweet.
