The language specifically revoking any and all previous powers of attorney should be included.
And the new proxy needs to sign the amended or even new POA or DPOA to accept authority to act. It should also be witnessed and notarized (typically).
This really is a task for an attorney to make sure that it's done properly, and that the existing proxy is served notice that he's being terminated and will no longer have any authority.
Did u have a lawyer draw it up? Then go back to the lawyer and revolk the present POA and assign a new one.
If it was a do it yourself, I would inform the now POA by letter that u have revolked his POA and assigned someone knew. Personally, I would still use a lawyer. I don't think these "do it yourself" forms should be legal.
You simply make out a new POA and have it notarized. This newest one replaces the last one. Do be aware that the last person, given he or she has proved self nefarious may still attempt to use the POA so the new POA must act at once to get self named as your POA.
