Power of Attorney versus Conservator

Answered by: 

Question: 
When an attorney-in-fact and conservator co-exist, which one (if either) has the greater power?
Answer: 

A conservator typically has the right to revoke any existing powers of attorney. An attorney-in-fact has no authority with regard to a conservator. Conservator trumps attorney-in-fact.
