You need to contact law enforcement (who may not actually be able to assist you) and the court system ASAP. I STRONGLY suggest that you contact an attorney to help you, as I believe that you could be in for a long and nasty struggle.
Answer: The person who grants a Power of Attorney can revoke it at any time. If they own real estate they should record a notice in the land records that the POA has been revoked. They should notify any bank, broker, etc. (anywhere it has been used) that the POA has been revoked. It could be published in the legal notices.
An attorney-in-fact may resign by giving notice to the principal.
Added: In plain English: Tell the person who gave you their POA that you don't want it anymore. It would also be a good idea to give notice in writing to the person as well as to anyone with whom you dealt as POA, so that there are no questions later.
You can complete a revocation of power of attorney form and provide a copy of it to your agent and to the people your agent conducted business with on your behalf. If you want proof that the agent received the revocation of power of attorney form, you can send a copy of it to your agent by return-receipt mail or hand deliver it and have your agent date and sign a copy of it for your records.
If the principal is competent, by giving notice to the principal.
Sign a statement to that effect. If you are competent, it will be sufficient.
Inform the Principal, so they can revoke you from an agent, if there is a successor let them know you can no longer act as agent.
You should resign in writing so the principal can revoke the POA and appoint a new attorney-in-fact. A copy of the the revocation should be sent to any facility where the POA has been used.
You do not have the power to do so. Only the testator can change the will. You can always decline the responsibility and the court will appoint someone else.
Once you have completed the Power of Attorney, you should give the original to whomever you named as the power of attorney (attorney-in-fact) and keep a copy for yourself.
A will can't make you a power of attorney. There is no point in making someone a power of attorney if you don't tell them about it. And a power of attorney expires on the death of the grantor.

You revoke the POA in writing and deliver a copy to the daughter. YOu should send a copy to any entity where it had been used. Once you revoke it you can execute a new one naming a new attorney-in-fact.
If it is in "THERE" name, No. If it is in "THEIR" name, maybe.
power of attorney.
Either the maker can revoke it or the attorney-in-fact can resign. Both must be done in writing with notice to the other parties involved.
Of course they can be abused. Some people often remove money from accounts illicitly.
