Yes it can be revoked in part. If you are the principal (the person who gives the agent the power to act on your behalf), I would not recommend doing this. It may lead to ambiguity in the agent's authority. Ambiguity is the enemy of an effective power of attorney. If the power that you want to take away is permanent, you are better off revoking the old POA document and executing a new POA. The Pennsylvania POA law changed in January 2015 in many important ways. Please contact an attorney to discuss your specific situation. It's probably and issue that is easily remedied.
