After death does person with power of attorney have a moraland legal obligation to family members to inform them of the contents and accountability of funds prior to death?

Yes. The attorney-in-fact should turn over any account information, statements, check books, etc., to the executor or administrator. And yes, you are legally accountable for any funds you spent while you had power over the decedent's estate as their attorney-in-fact. If you are accused of self-dealing then you will need to prove that every expenditure you made while attorney-in-fact was for the sole benefit of the principal. Their death doesn't shield you from accountability. If you refuse to co-operate you can be sued.


Can the named beneficiary also be appointed as attorney in fact and if so can they transfer real property into their own name prior to the death of the testator in order to avoid death taxes?

Yes. The beneficiary named in a testator's will may also be appointed as the testator's attorney-in-fact while the testator is living. The powers of the attorney-in-fact must be set forth in the Power of Attorney document. The power of the attorney-in-fact to transfer the real estate to self may be listed in the POA. However, if there are other heirs-at-law, the transfer by the attorney-in-fact to self may be vulnerable to challenges upon the death of the testator. The parties should seek the advice of an attorney who specializes in probate who can review the situation and the desires of the testator. Documents could then be properly drafted to carry out the wishes of the testator and make certain that any actions of the attorney-in-fact are not vulnerable to challenges.
