Yes, you can revoke a durable POA at any time as long as you have capacity. It is important to follow proper execution steps to ensure the revocation is recognized by institutions.
Name someone you trust, who understands your goals, is organized, and will act in your best interests. Consider naming alternates in case the primary agent cannot serve.

If incapacity occurs, your agent can manage finances per the POA. Courts can be involved if you did not have a POA or if there is a dispute.
Regular reviews every few years or after major life events help keep the POA aligned with current goals and laws.
