Re: revocation of power of durable power attorney
If a person who granted the POA has not been adjudicated incompetent by the court, or made the ward of a guardian, then he/she can revoke a POA. POAs often contain a section dealing with revocation. But, if not, the POA can still be revoked by the grantor. The concept of durability means that the POA survives the incapacity of the grantor. Not that a POA survives if the grantor wishes to, and is capable of, revocation.
