How Do I Trasfer a Power of Attorney From My Mother to My Girlfriend?

Full question:

How do I relinquish my mother as my power of attorney if she lives in Indiana and give the power of attorney to my girlfriend who I have now lived with for over a year?

Answer:

In order to revoke, cancel, or end a power of attorney before it expires, the principal must sign a revocation of power of attorney and give a copy of the revocation to any person who might have or will possibly deal with the agent. A new power of attorney may be drafted to name the girlfriend as agent.
