Powers of attorney are only good while the person who gave the power is living. They expire upon the death of the person granting the power. The probate attorney has no duty to notify you that they are accessing the records. You should get yourself listed as a co-owner of the account instead.

Currenty in lawsuit with two doctors for medication error one attorney requested my medical records the other did not can the other attorney share my medical records?
Are you asking if one attorney can share the records with the other attorney?....or are you asking if the attorney who has the records can share the records with someone else other than the other attorney? Either way, no one should be sharing your records with anyone without your prior written consent. If these 2 attorneys are working for the same firm and are both working on your case...then you can likely assume that they will both see the records.. The way your question is written makes it unclear as to what the relationship is with the 2 attorneys..
