This issue is determined by state law. The answer in Pennsylvania is "yes," and I suspect that is probably the answer in all states.
If the husband doesn't give her the power of attorney, there is no way for her to get it. She will have to take the paperwork to him to be signed. He could grant her a power of attorney if he would like to.
Not unless she is his attorney in fact under a power of attorney.
You estranged husband is dead. He can no longer grant a power of attorney.
You and get would have to go to the court house anand sign paperwork.
A living person can change their power of attorney at any time. Previous powers of attorney will become void.
Of course not! A power of attorney must be granted by the person, it cannot be taken without a court order.
yes
A power of attorney represents a living person. After their death, the estate executor would have the right. Consult an attorney in your state.
No, a power of attorney does not give the authority to change a person's will. The power of attorney only allows the designated individual to make financial and legal decisions on behalf of the person who granted the power of attorney. Changing a will requires a separate legal process.
If you were grated a POA to act for some other person then you have no right to transfer that power to anyone else. If an attorney-in-fact dies the principal needs to appoint a new attorney-in-fact.
You do not file for power of attorney. This is a power that one person grants over themselves to another person. If the girlfriend would like to give you power of attorney over her, she need only obtain the proper documents and execute them.
No. The wife doesn't need a Power of Attorney because her husband executed one. If the wife is "on her husband's account" then it's a joint account and the wife can still do her own banking. However, if the wife wants to be able to have someone else do her banking for her then she will also need to execute a POA naming the daughter as her attorney-in-fact.
