You can do it yourself. If you get a new power of attorney, it'll nullify any previous power of attorney. A power of attorney is really not all that complicated. You can print out a generic power of attorney, and all you need is a notary to make it legal.

Destroy your sister's copy(ies) of power of attorney. That's the surest way to revoke her power of attorney, although if she has copies, they might cause you trouble. Making a new power of attorney would probably not do all that you want it to because, except in certain circumstances, no one will check for newer copies of a power of attorney before honoring the old copy. They won't know that it is old. That means that even if you enact new power of attorney, your sister could potentially still show the old one to people and use it to act in your name.
Enacting a second power of attorney will not necessarily negate all previous powers of attorney. Be sure that your new power of attorney revokes all old powers of attorney, or at least all those that govern the area that your sister's covers.
But your sister will not have to sign anything relinquishing power of attorney unless maybe there's some weird case where limited power of attorney was part of a contract that you two made up.
Just talk to her so she knows not to use it (or sneak it out), destroy it, and write a new one.

She would probably have to be notified but as long as you (and not a court order) gave it to her you can revoke it any time and name someone else (or not). An attorney will make sure its all legal.

they could't change the want with a POA. A will is made my the Testator and the Testator must have testamentary ability at the same time as the want is finished. Any change made by technique of yet another man or woman, inspite of a POA, heavily isn't area of the want. the want might want to develop into no longer the want of the mummy notwithstanding the want and needs of the guy making the adjustments.

Any lawyer can change that, and she does not have to be involved at all
