Power of Attorney. Agency agreement.
A Power of Attorney expires immediately upon the death of the principal. The attorney-in-fact has no power whatsoever to do anything with property after the death of the principal. You should discuss this situation with an attorney ASAP or with someone in your local district attorney's office. The attorney-in-fact had no legal power to sell property of the decedent and can be criminally prosecuted.
Yes as long as both owners executed the Enduring Power of Attorney.
An attorney in fact under a power of attorney acts on behalf of the principal and has the authority to handle the principal's business and property.

If the property does not belong to the principal then the AIF has no authority to take it.An attorney in fact under a power of attorney acts on behalf of the principal and has the authority to handle the principal's business and property.
