I need to revoke POA. How do I tell her?

My friend is my power of attorney and is 82 and has dementia. I need to revoke that and get someone else. Do i tell her?

In NYS the designated POA needs to sign with Notary, as well as successor(s).

Legally, no you don't have to tell her. Ideally you pick someone who will outlive you by a decade or two and will carry out business in accordance with your wishes. You DO notify the new POA though, to be sure they are willing to accept the responsibility.
