A person (the principal) can grant a Power of Attorney to any person (the attorney-in-fact) they choose and trust. That POA is between the principal and their attorney-in-fact. There is no question about it being "enforceable". It remains in force until it has been revoked by the principal. Other family members have no rights regarding the POA whatsoever.

What is the difference between Executor and Power of Attorney?
A POA allows an attorney in fact to act on behalf of the principle while the person is living. It is extinguished upon the death of the principal. An executor is appointed by the probate court to settle a testator's estate after their death. An executor is often named in a will but must be appointed by the probate court. An executor only has power after the death of the testator and only after they have been duly appointed by the probate court.
If you have POA can you get guardianship?
A court appointment of a legal guardian extinguishes any power of attorney that was executed by the ward prior to the guardianship. Therefore a person with a legal guardian has been removed from their legal relationship with an attorney-in-fact and the power of attorney is no longer valid. The AIF should be notified of the guardianship and that they are no longer the AIF.
