If I Have Power of Attorney, Can I Modify a Previously Established Living Trust?

While a Durable Power of Attorney vests the person named attorney-in-fact with very broad powers and authority, revoking or modifying a Trust may be outside the scope of such document.

The question posed may have significant consequences to the person who uses a Power of Attorney to modify a Living Trust. So before any action is taken to terminate or modify a Trust by that person, he or she may wish to obtain legal advice.
