What happens if the person granted power of attorney as well as executor dies before the grantee?
If the person granted power of attorney and executor dies before the grantee, then the power of attorney is terminated, and the grantee would not be able to rely on the power of attorney anymore. The executor's role would typically be carried out by an alternate executor named in the will, or the court may appoint a new executor if there is no alternate named. It is important to regularly review and update estate planning documents to ensure contingency plans are in place.
How do you find out who the executor of your grandmas unclaimed money is when she did not have a will?
If your grandmother is still living, you can't. If she is deceased, the executor of the will is required to notify you if you are in the will. If there is no will, and your parents are deceased, then you should contact the probate court and/or executor.
