Best Answer

No. The power of attorney comes while the person is alive. You need to go to probate court and become executor of his estate.

How can you sign legal paper work for a person brain dead?

You could probably sign legal paperwork for a person who is brain dead if you have a Durable Power of Attorney from them. Of course, they would have had to have signed it before they were brain dead. And it probably has to be a DURABLE Power of Attorney, because a simple Power of Attorney usually only applies while the person is alive and not incapacitated, as they usually expire upon death or incapacity. Lacking a Durable Power of Attorney, you might have to petition the courts for Guardianship or Conservatorship of the person in order to sign legal paperwork for them. And making decisions regarding continued health care for an incapacitated individual might additionally require a Health Care Advance Directive, or a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care. And you should ask this question to a practicing attorney, not depend on any answer here!!
