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.
