A: You deliver a notice to anyone who has possession of the POA and everyone who has ever been provided a copy, telling them that you have revoked it. It would be best to send it using a method that requires a signed receipt or at least has tracking, such as certified mail return receipt requested or FedEx or UPS. You might also record a notice of revocation of the POA in the local land records.

A: Do a new Power of Attorney and have a paragraph put in it that it voids and replaces any previously made Power of Attorney. Serve notice on anyone who was provided with the "fraudulent" POA that it is revoked and provide them with the new one.
