If there is existing one power of attorney by a parent to a child, the parent can expressly revoke the existing power of attorney in a notarized document and then sign another power of attorney to another child over him or her.

A conservatorship arises when there is no power of attorney over the person needing assistance. This does not seem to be the situation concerning your question. Good luck.
