Opinion by

LARRY E. JOPLIN, Judge:

¶ 1 Appellant John Robert Lee seeks review of the trial court’s order granting the petition of Appellee Charles E. Lee to revoke a certain trust (the Trust) previously created by Dorris T. Lee (Settlor). In this appeal, Appellant asserts the trial court erred in authorizing Appellee, as holder of a power of attorney executed by Settlor and/or as her guardian, to exercise Settlor’s power to revoke the Trust. We here hold the trial court erred as alleged. The order of the trial court should consequently be reversed, and the cause remanded for further proceedings.
