Best Answer

A person (the principal) can only grant a Power of Attorney to an attorney-in-fact to handle their solely owned property. For example, if you own real property with another person, your attorney-in-fact could only sell your interest in the property. They have no authority over your co-owner's interest.

Executing another POA would be a very bad idea. The first attorney-in-fact could continue to act until the first POA has been revoked in writing with written notice sent to the first attorney-in-fact.

In some states you could execute a POA and not tell the attorney-in-fact. The question would then be why would you want to. A POA grants sweeping authority over all your property. You and your AIF should discuss the appointment and have an understanding of what is expected. They cannot act for you upon your behalf if they don't know they have that authority and in addition, they may not want to.

In some states the AIF must sign the POA. In those states you could not appoint an attorney-in-fact without their consent.

Does a grandmother need written consent to take grandchild traveling in the states?

No. There are no checkpoints as there are between countries so there is no way for the government to regulate that. It is perfectly legal for grandparents to travel in the US with their grandchildren without any documentation. Really no one need any documentation to travel with anyone inside the country. If you want to go to Canada, a notiraized letter that has the signatures of both parents is required.


Is it illegal for the attorney-in-fact under a power of attorney to remove funds from the estate after grandmother's death without the consent of the executors?

Yes. The power of attorney for an attorney in fact is extinguished upon the death of the principal. Therefore, the power of attorney was no longer in effect at all after your grandmother's death. The attorney-in-fact has no authority to remove funds with or without the executor's consent. An AIF who used their authority under a POA after the death of the principal is stealing.
