Yes. You need to revoke the POA in writing and send a copy to the attorney-in-fact and any entity where the POA was used in the past. If the POA was recorded in the land records you must record an original copy of the revocation.

A power of attorney grants a person the right to act as your legal representative and make binding legal/financial decision for you. You can easily find power of attorney forms on the Internet. There are two types of powers of attorney; general (unlimited in curating and permitted to act as your legal representative until it is revoked) & specific (imposes limits on the individual and may restrict their power to a single type of conduct or transaction).

Can you get a divorce from someone with a brain injury if you have a durable power of attorney?

Being the attorney-in-fact under a Durable POA has nothing to do with getting a divorce. You can't consent to the divorce on behalf of your spouse by using your power as attorney-in-fact. You would need to file for a divorce using the normal route after you have consulted with an attorney to find out how you should proceed in your particular situation under the laws of your state.
