Best Answer

The attorney-in-fact under a Power of Attorney has absolutely no power or authority after the death of the principal. The POA expires once the principal has died. However, if the attorney-in-fact has been handling the affairs of the decedent, she/he should hand over any records, including bank accounts, to the executor or administrator of the estate.

Can I as executor and having joint account with my mother write checks to my siblings without a lawyer since my mother lives with me and has no debts?

Your status as executor has no bearing as to whether you have access to your mother's finances while she is living. Additionally, whether you live with your mother or whether she has debts or not has no bearing as to whether you have access to her finances. What you need is a power of attorney. That being said, if you are also named on your mother's bank account as an account owner, then you have full access to write checks on that account just like she does. Be careful that you are not listed as TOD (Transfer on Death) or POD (Pay on Death) though instead of an actual account owner. Those who are listed as TOD or POD have no right to the account funds until the account owner dies.
