This one of the dangers of a power of attorney. You should complete a revocation of power of attorney. More importantly, you should send it not only to the attorney in fact (or agent), but anyone else who the attorney in fact may be interacting with on your behalf (including banks, brokerage services, etc.). If you are concerned about possible abuse or fraud, you might want to record the revocation.

Re: Power of Attorney

aaaahhhhhh, great question but not a good answer. Demand it, and hopefully they will return it. You what the original and all copies they've made. If they've given in this document to any one or any entity you what a list of those so you can send them a letter that the power of attorney is no longer valid. That is the big problem, getting get back or getting information as to cool still thinks they have the power. If they refuse have attorney make the demand. The ultimate is litigation against the butt reasonably write a letter to all the banking and financial institutions in which you have assets telling them that the power of attorney which was given is no longer valid. Send this certified return receipt requested and hopefully that will stop their ability to control your financial situation.
