The most important thing to do is tell the first holder of the POA that there is a new POA, that his/hers is revoked and he/she is to cease acting on your behalf. Tell the first agent to return the original document and any copies together with information regarding financial institutions he/she has been dealing with. Depending on the circumstances, you may demand that first agent give you an accounting of all actions and transactions that have been done. Changing the POA is easy, but yo must make sure that all financial institutions are aware of the change otherwise they may continue to deal with the first agent until they are told of the change. When you make the new POA be sure to specifically state in it that the POA that appointed the first agent is revoked. Describe the revoked POA by date and name of agent. It is a good idea to add that all POAs signed before the date of the new one are revoked. This way you or the new agent can notify the institutions of the change on your own in the event the first agent is not cooperative.
