Generally speaking, if person A gives a power of attorney to person B, then person B can attend to any or all of person A's business, including banking, in the same manner as person A could do himself or herself, subject to any limitations contained in the power of attorney document itself. For specific legal advice, consult a lawyer in the jurisdiction where the power of attorney was given, preferrably with a copy of the document itself.

Is executor of the Will same as power of attorney?
No. A living person (the principal) can execute a Power of Attorney document that appoints an attorney-in-fact to act on their behalf and manage their affairs while they are alive. A POA is extinguished immediately upon the death of the principal. An executor is the person named in a will to distribute an estate after a person has died. The will must be filed in probate court and the court will appoint the named executor if there are no objections to the appointment. The executor will then have the authority to pay the debts of the decedent and distribute the remaining estate to the heirs according to the provisions set forth in the will and the state probate laws.
Should both jurisdictions be allowed to try the same person for the same case?

If a man with power of attorney for his living mom dies will his POA for his mom transfer to his wife or to the POA of his moms body or to his other living sibling and what legal action is necessary?
The power of attorney for the mother does not pass on to anyone upon the death of the attorney-in-fact. That power dies along with the son. When a person gives her power of attorney to another person (the attorney-in-fact), that choice is considered so personal that it cannot be passed on to any another person. A good POA will include a provision for an alternate attorney-in-fact to be empowered upon the death of the first person in the same way that a will provides for an alternate executor.
