POA abuse is the misuse by the attorney of the authority granted by the donor. It means making a decision or taking an action that is not in the donor's best interest. An example would be when the attorney spends the donor's money to benefit the attorney, rather than the donor, without permission.

A revocable POA which has only been notarized can be cancelled or revoked by issuing a notice/letter of revocation to the Attorney. Once the deed is drafted and registered, copy of it should be sent to the Attorney intimating him of the revocation.

The death, incapacity or bankruptcy of the donor or sole attorney will automatically revoke the validity of any general power of attorney (GPA). GPAs can be revoked by the donor at any time with a deed of revocation. The attorney must also be notified of the revocation or the deed of revocation won't be effective.
