You can make an appointment with an attorney to have a new POA drafted and your will updated. Don't put it off. If you no longer trust your son you must revoke his power to access your assets. You need to draft a revocation of the POA that you granted to your son. It should recite his name, the date it was granted and state clearly that the POA has been revoked. It must be dated, signed, notarized and RECORDED in the land records if you own real property. You must also send copies by certified mail to any institution where your son may have filed or exercised the POA. That means banks, credit unions, insurance company, doctor's office, hospital, etc. The certified mail receipt will protect you if your son should use the POA at any bank after it has been revoked. You could even print a legal notice in your local paper that the POW to your son dated ___ has been revoked. Do it now.
