After death of the grantor of POA who is in charge of the estate?

A Power of Attorney has no relationship to the estate. A Power of Attorney automatically ends at the death of the grantor. The will names an executor who will be responsible for the administration of the estate. If there is no will, the court can appoint an executor. If there is no family member that all the beneficiaries agree can be the executor, the court will appoint a bank or attorney to serve as the executor, at the appropriate fees, of course. Consult a probate attorney in your state or country for further information. The executor named in the will or the administrator appointed through the court if there is no will is in charge of the estate after death. The power of attorney has no effect once the grantor dies.
