A Power of Attorney can be revoked at any time for any reason by the person who awarded it. No reason need be given for the action.

It is EXTREMELY unlikely that one can fight the recission of a POA, since the legal power to award it, or withdraw it, resides exclusively in the person who granted it in the first place.
