How can my friend revoke a power of attorney?
My friend, of sound mind, is living in a nursing home after having a stroke. At first she could not speak well and was not of sound mind. Her condition has improved very much as of now. She is 86 years old and has no living relatives. The friend who was appointed as her “power of attorney” turns out not to be such a good friend after all and does not listen to my friends wants and needs. She won’t allow her to go to her home, in fact the power of attorney has changed the locks on her home so that no one else can take her their either.

The best way for your friend to revoke a power of attorney that she gave is for her to contact a Wills and trust attorney in her locality and make an appointment. After the appointment, the attorney can draft the revocation of the power of attorney. Such an attorney can be located via attorneypages.com.
