Can power of attorney change a persons will?
November 10th, 2011 | by admin |kayla asked:
My grandmother has appointed my uncle to power of attorney. She is now terminally ill and not conscious. He is upset with me, and has threatened to take me out of her will. Does he have the power to do this, if she already has a will drawn up with me as a large beneficiary?

A power of attorney is for him to make decisions regarding her welfare. Such as paying her bills. He cannot change her will. He has no authority to do so. Even if he was appointed executor of her estate- her last will and testament is her wishes and he cannot over ride them.

No- power of attorney does not give him the right to change the will. The only person that can draw up a will or make changes to it is the person to whom it belongs- in this case your grandmother. Furthermore, the person who will effectuate the terms of the will is the executor, which may not be your uncle. His duties as one who has power of attorney stops the second your grandmother dies- you can only have power of attorney over someone who is alive.

Not legally. He is granted power to exercise her wishes only. Not make changes or decisions without her written approval. You need to demand a copy of the will immediately. Use a lawyer if you must. As`a beneficiary you have the right to know what is in it. Any changes he makes are criminal acts.

No the power of attorney is just between her and your uncle. You are still entitled to your part of the heritage

Depends upon the type of “Power of At-torney ” if limited or unlimited
If unlimited then he can do anything like sell off everything before she dies and then still a lot of power after death.
What ever the judge is going to allow.
At-torney : a title of nobility under a Lord and above a tax collector , the one who tears or torn away ones rights and property
