No. A POA cannot be transferred from the holder to another individual. A new POA or guardianship order will have to be obtained through the required legal procedures by the person seeking such.

No, power-of-attorney is not awarded. It is granted by the person that it is for. His sister could grant him a power of attorney. A brother could be appointed the guardian of his sister if she is a minor and he is an adult.

If your parents or one parent wants to give your brother a power of attorney, then your brother does not need the consent of the rest of the family. If the parent has something like Alzheimer's, you can challenge it in court.

Your brother can not obtain any one's power of attorney without the approval of the person involved except with the approval of the court. It requires the approval of the judge, not the family.

If someone (the principal) chose to name you as their attorney-in-fact no other person has the right to object unless the principal lacks the legal capacity to execute a Power of Attorney. Choosing a trusted person to act as your attorney-in-fact is a private matter and should be free from the interference of any other person as long as there has been no undue influence involved and as long as your honesty cannot be challenged.

If someone believes an attorney in fact is taking advantage of the principal, some interested party must take the matter before a judge.

Next, you are not the executor until you have been duly appointed by a court. Only a court can appoint an executor.

An executor cannot assign their powers to someone else via a power of attorney document.
