A POA is granted by persons who for whataever reason are unable to conduct their personal and/or financial affairs. An individual cannot grant themselves a POA. The method for closing a joint account is to close the existing account and open a single account. The other account holder would obviously be notified of the action as they would have to be a part of closing the account depending upon how the account is held (JT, JTWRS, TBE, etc.).

There is nothing to prevent them from doing so. They are preserving the estate for the executor.

He cannot remove your name from the account. However, he can close the account and then open a new account with the money. Just remember this can work both ways. With a joint account either person can go in and close the account out and then take the money and open themselves a new account. Most of the time it depends on who makes it to the bank first to close out the account.

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 Therefore, the power of attorney was no longer in effect at all after your grandmother's death.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.
