No, a power of attorney does not give the authority to change a person's will. The power of attorney only allows the designated individual to make financial and legal decisions on behalf of the person who granted the power of attorney. Changing a will requires a separate legal process.

However, father has the right to change his attorney-in-fact if he wants to and as long as he has the legal capacity to do so.
