Yes. Bigger question whether you should male sure such revocation is circulated to all of your accounts and creditors. YES!!!!!! Notify the former attorney in fact by certified mail that they have been relieved of their duties as of X date, that they are to conduct no further business on your behalf, and that any pending transactions should be itemized for your / your new POA's immediate attention/remediation. Run don't walk the revocation to the bank and your broker, etc. if you suspect illicit happenings.

Intrepid, I am living proof that POA can be revoked. My mom has revoked MY POA, taken me out of the will and is suing me. Talk about a sweetheart! Any illicit happenings going on in this situation were NOT done by me. I had to hire a lawyer to defend myself against my OWN mom. I told my lawyer I never acted on my duties of POA but someone has told mom she could "get" me because she thinks I stole her bank statements (they're mailed to her house), her original SS card/Medicare card (she left her purse in the cart at Walmart parking lot), her will(it and other papers have been at my house, per her request, since they were picked up at the lawyer's office). So instead of remodeling the bathroom to accomodate my ill husband, I'm spending MY money defending myself. Oh yes, she is such a sweetheart!!!
