The principal must revoke the POA in writing and send a copy to notify any entities where the POA has been filed.
How enforceable is a poa when step children are involved on both sides but only one of them have power of attorney?
A person (the principal) can grant a Power of Attorney to any person (the attorney-in-fact) they choose and trust. That POA is between the principal and their attorney-in-fact. There is no question about it being "enforceable". It remains in force until it has been revoked by the principal. Other family members have no rights regarding the POA whatsoever.

If you had power of attorney and it was revoked and another POA is abusing the privileges what can be done to insure that person does not get everything once the person dies?
A POA gives one person (the attorney-in-fact) the authority to sign legal documents on the behalf of another (the principal). The fundamental reason for a POA is for the convenience of the principal. There are no personal privileges accorded to the POA unless they are set forth in the instrument that created the POA. If the attorney-in-fact is abusing their authority the abuse should be brought to the attention of the principal so they can revoke the POA. Only the principal can revoke a POA. If the principal is not capable of making the decision to revoke the POA or have become vulnerable to undue influence then you should seek legal advice to discuss your options. Perhaps a guardianship or conservatorship is needed. If someone is appointed guardian, the power of attorney would be extinguished. A POA expires when the principal dies. Therefore the attorney-in-fact has no special status as an heir when the principal dies unless you think they have used undue influence on the principal to draft a will that unjustly favors the attorney-in-fact. Again, you should discuss this situation with an attorney who can review the situation and explain the options.

What if the person who has our power of attorney is incompetent?
If you are the principal all you need to do is revoke the Power of Attorney in writing and send it to the attorney-in-fact to inform him/her that their authority has been revoked. You should send or deliver a copy of the revocation to any entity or facility where the POA was used, especially your bank. You could record the revocation in the land records office. You could also protect yourself by placing a legal notice of the revocation in the local paper, keeping a copy of that page of the paper in your records.An attorney-in-fact who will not surrender a POA can be a problem but if they use it to access your property when they know you have revoked it they are stealing and will be subject to criminal prosecution. You would be wise to protect yourself by covering all the bases thereby making it impossible for the revoked POA to be used.
