  1. There is no reason why they both cannot be valid (the Trust and the 2006 Durable Power of Attorney). The 2006 Durable Power of Attorney most likely revoked prior power of attorneys, but not the trust.

  2. Has a conflict arisen? If the person with power of attorney starts to amend the trust, which affects your interest you may want judicial intervention. Contact me directly.

  3. Unless there is specific language in the second POA that revokes the first, they both could be valid. From what you are saying, it is not even clear that there is a conflict between the two.
