Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

My 92 yr. old mother who is competent with some short term memory loss is asking to revoke the power of attorney we had agreed on when she moved to FL in 2008. How legally responsible am I , as her daughter, for her with having signed a POA with a notary signing it with us??

Assuming that she is competent, she can revoke the POA at any time and for any reason.

If she is competent, she can revoke the POA at any time. You do not have legal responsibility for your mother's affairs. If she becomes incompetent, the court will need to appoint a guardian, which can be you if you are qualified and want the job or the court will appoint a third party to be guardian.
