The attorney-in-fact under a Power of Attorney is now the executor of the estate. Can they be required to provide an accounting for the time they served as AIF?
Yes, that person can be audited or made to account for what was done under the POA. The practical problem is that the executrix of the estate is the one normally exclusively entitled to demand an accounting from the former POA holder and it is not likely that she will provide an accounting unless ordered to do so. A beneficiary of the estate would have standing under those circumstances to file an action in court to get a court order directing the executrix to account for what she did under the POA. Most states have no automatic requirement for an accounting by a POA holder the way they might have automatic requirements for an executrix to account. This is why the beneficiary might have to go to court.
