A: This is not a Family Law question. It is a trust and estate question. Also it may need to be posted in Mississippi rather than New York since that is where your father lives. It may depend on where the POA was executed. Repost in the appropriate area of law and jurisdiction.

A: Thus is not uncommon. The easiest way to have it reversed is by agreement. If not possible, you'll need a court order.
