Can an administrator charge by the hour like an attorney to handle an estate?

It is allowed in many states. Others have a specific upper limit, or base it entirely on a percentage of the estate. And the court has to determine that the charges are reasonable.

Does power of attorney have the right to hold money that is will to someone else for as long as they like?

Answer: When a person dies with a will, will need to determine if the person who is now deceased has appointed somebody to be the administrator of the estate. If so, this person will submit the will to the probate court to have the will probated. If the will does not call for an administrator, then it will depend on the law in the state to determine if there are any restrictions of somebody else being appointed as the executor of the estate. The potential executor would apply to the probate court for appointment. The administrator or the executor are under an obligation to settle the estate as quickly as possible. This means collecting all the assets of the estate, paying first all the estate debts, and then disbursing any remaining assets according to the terms in the will. Once the process is completed, the person will advise the probate court who will order the estate closed. Once the estate is closed, there are no other claims that can be brought.

If a estate administrator removes estate property for his own use and profit and the lawyer representing the estate does nothing who's responsible to prosecute.?

"who's responsible to prosecute?" Do you mean: what government official would be involved in seeking criminal penalties against the estate administrator and/or the lawyer? As it says at the beginning of each "Law and Order" episode: the police would investigate and if sufficient evidence were found, the prosecutor/district attorney would handle a criminal prosecution. Do you mean: who should a beneficiary contact if he/she suspects that the estate administrator has removed estate property for his own use? The beneficiary must file an objection with the probate court. Generally speaking, this would involve hiring an attorney with probate experience to handle the matter. Do you mean: if a person who is not a beneficiary and he/she suspects that the estate administrator has removed estate property for his own use, what should they do? Two alternatives, are the beneficiaries competent adults? If so, report your the evidence to the beneficiaries - it's their call, not yours, what to do with the info. If they aren't, for example, young children, mentally handicapped, report your evidence to the probate court. WARNING - accusing people of a crime is a serious business and can get you sued or worse. DON"T - say "Bob stole Grandma's car from the estate." DO - say "I saw you driving what looked like Grandma's car in Centerburg and it is now parked in your driveway, please explain this for me?"

Can my brothers girlfriend file for power of attorney?

You do not file for power of attorney. This is a power that one person grants over themselves to another person. If the girlfriend would like to give you power of attorney over her, she need only obtain the proper documents and execute them.
