No. A POA gives no such power over your person or affairs to the attorney in fact. The AIF can only act upon your request and for your convenience. If you are still of sound mind, you can simple revoke your Power of Attorney at any time and without delays. Even without revoking the power of attorney, you still have the right to make decisions in your own behalf. Read the Power you signed. If it was done properly, all of this is clearly stated.
For someone to have that kind of authority over you they would need to be appointed your guardian by a court of law.

Can an Executor who has Power of Attorney take money out of the Estate before the estate owner dies?
The terms you used in your question are used incorrectly. A person cannot be an attorney-in-fact under a POA and an executor at the same time. A power of attorney serves a living person. There is no executor appointed until the testator dies.A POA gives an attorney-infact the authority to act on behalf of a living person (the principal). An attorney-in-fact is prohibited by law from transferring the assets of the principal to their own use. When the principal dies the power of attorney is extinguished and an estate representative must be appointed. An executor is appointed by the court if the decedent left a Will. A person isn't an executor until the will has been allowed by the probate court and the court has appointed the executor.You need to consult with an attorney ASAP who can review your situation and explain your options. You may need to sue the AIF.
