No. They are under no obligation to provide an accounting. However, if you suspect they are not being responsible please note the following:
An attorney-in-fact under a Power of Attorney is bound by statutory provisions that govern fiduciaries. If they have control over an elderly parent's finances they should be prepared to provide an accounting because they should have nothing to hide. The elder's bank statements should be made available as well as their checkbook so that siblings can monitor the money going in and the money going out and that none of it is being spent for personal use by the AIF. An AIF can be held personally liable for missing funds.
There is a common problem with "family" AIFs who do not take their position seriously nor do they perform in a business-like manner. A POA grants sweeping powers over all a principal's assets. Mishandling of funds can cause a loss of entitlements if the elder has more coming in than they are allowed and someone else is spending it. In many cases the AIF is doing their own shopping while they shop for the principal, combining personal purchases with purchases for the principal, paying their own bills from the principal's checking account or buying gifts "from" grandma for their own children. They should expect to get audited and a savvy family member can and should petition a court to order an accounting.
The AIF should keep copies of checks, bank statements, deposits, check registers, paid bills, receipts and note down petty cash amounts spent on weekly purchases. Anything an adult child does as their parent's AIF should be open for inspection by siblings who are looking out for their parent's best interest. With-holding information, being secretive and being resistant to questioning is reasonable cause for alarm.

Grace Abbott had three other siblings. Her brothers, Othman Abbott Jr. and Arthur Griffin were attorney's. Her sister Edith was a social activist.
Apply to the probate court for the power. If the circumstances warrant it, they can grant that power.
* The Will will go into probate first. If a sibling chooses to live in the house then they would have to buy the house from the other siblings and if this is not possible then the house will be sold and monies put into the total Estate.
Only the person named as beneficiary on the insurance policy will receive money from that policy. Any other monies or other property in the estate would be divided up between the siblings if the parent died intestate (meaning without a will).
A POA does not give the agent the right to convert the property to their own use. You should speak to an attorney ASAP because you will most likely need to sue the person who is stealing the parent's assets. You also need to try to prevent further depletion of the parent's assets.
Assuming that the "monies from the past" were used to support the child: yes, with the court's agreement.
Filing fees and other court costs are not refundable. The refunding of fees paid to an attorney would depend upon the type of agreement that was made when legal counsel was originally retained.
No, they do not have to sign. The executor of the will has the authority to sell the property. But they must have the permission of the court to do so. The other beneficiaries will then be able to state their position. Consult a probate attorney!
Unless the person has POA or other legal instrument it would not be advisable to remove any monies, assets or property until they have obtained advice from a qualified estate attorney.
