Answer 2

A properly drafted trust must contain a provision whereby the trustor reserves the right to revoke the trust. You should review the trust for the provisions that govern the revocation of the trust. The provisions must be followed. If there are no such provisions in the trust then you need to consult an attorney. The trust may need to be modified by a judge.

If the right to revoke the trust was reserved then the trust may be revoked according to the provisions set forth in the trust which generally provide the trust be revoked in writing with a copy sent to the trustee and an original recorded in the land records if the original trust was recorded. If the trust owns real property the trustee may need to convey it back to the trustor by deed to clear the title.

Examples:

• I reserve the absolute right, during my life, by an instrument in writing signed by me, to revoke, annul and cancel this agreement and the trust created hereby; and to alter, modifyor amend this trust in any and all aspects . . .
• This Revocation of Trust is made this _(1)_ day of ________(2)________, 19_(3)_. WHEREAS, on the _(4)_ day of ________(2)________, 19_(3)_, I created by written declaration of a revocable trust a copy of which is attached hereto, and having reserved the right to revoke, annual and cancel said trust and the declaration creating it, I do now hereby revoke said trust, with all of the principal thereof reverting absolutely to me, with all right and title thereto. I further declare the Trustee of said trust free and discharged from all further responsibility for the administration and management of said trust and the principal thereof.

Answer 3

"Irrevocable" POAs are generally "irrevocable". Irrevocable powers of attorney are rare and there is always some underlying reason why the appointment was made irrevocable. You didn't say whether you are the principal or the agent. Generally, the agent in an irrevocable POA has some interest in the principal's property and the principal has proven to be unable to manage the property without waste on their own. You should seek the advice of an attorney. You may need to ask a court to make a change in the POA.
