All powers of attorney take effect and can be used immediately by the attorney-in-fact unless the form used is a "springing" power of attorney. "Springing" powers of attorney only go into effect upon proof of existence of an event happening in the future after the document is executed.

If a power of attorney was executed for an elderly step-father does a biological daughter have rights to revoke it and become the power of attorney?
Daughter does not have the power to revoke her father's Power of Attorney unless she has become his legal guardian. She does not have the authority to make herself the attorney-in-fact. However, father has the right to change his attorney-in-fact if he wants to and as long as he has the legal capacity to do so.
