Among other things a power of attorney is invalid:

* when it has been revoked, * when the principal dies, * when the parties relying upon the power are made aware that the power has been revoked or that the principal has died, * at the time of expiration shown on the face of a written power, * upon occurrence of any event of lapse or termination listed in its scope.

For example, "... provided, however, that such power shall terminate at noon on the date five years after its date of issuance, or immediately upon any attempt by the designated attorney-in-fact to subvert the purpose of this power, including but not limited to: transfer or hypothecation of the principal residence, violation of any state or federal law related to fiduciary duties, or furthering any wanton violence upon the person, mental state, or property of the principal."

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. Perhaps you should consult with an attorney who specializes in elder law if you are concerned.
