Can a Power of Attorney agent be fired?
Yes. The principal may revoke the power of attorney at any time. He or she must notify the agent of the revocation and should put it in writing. It is also wise to notify all asset holders of any revocation. The appointment of a conservator or guardian may not immediately revoke the power of attorney. Depending on the state in which the principal lives, the decision to revoke a power of attorney may lie with the judge appointing the guardian or conservator. In other states, this decision may rest entirely with the guardian or conservator.
