Re: how to change power of attorney
Your mother needs to provide notice to oldest daughter and anyone else who is relying on the current POA that she has revoked the POA. This should be done in writing by a certified letter. Any entity relying on the previous POA, i.e. bank, service provider, etc., must also be notified she has revoked the POA. Any lawyer can draft a new POA for your mother appointing youngest daughter as her agent.
