The principal can revoke the Power of Attorney at any time by a written notice to the attorney-in-fact. Notice of the revocation should be sent to any facility where the POA had been used by the AIF such as a bank or doctor's office. If it was used to execute documents affecting real estate a copy of the revocation should be recorded in the land records.
Otherwise, a General POA is extinguished when the principal becomes incapacitated.
A Durable POA remains active even after the principal becomes incapacitated.
Either is extinguished upon the death of the principal.
