What is the difference between Executor and Power of Attorney?
A POA allows an attorney in fact to act on behalf of the principle while the person is living. It is extinguished upon the death of the principal. An executor is appointed by the probate court to settle a testator's estate after their death. An executor is often named in a will but must be appointed by the probate court. An executor only has power after the death of the testator and only after they have been duly appointed by the probate court.
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.
