It will go into the probate process. The assets and debts will be resolved according to the will or the intestacy laws.

Can someone with Power of Attorney give out a pre-inheritance before the persons death in the amount stated in the will and then not pay them again on the persons death?

Absolutely not. A POA does not give the attorney in fact the power to give away the principal's property. A will only becomes operable upon a person's death. It is not "money in the bank" for the beneficiary. The owner of the property may use or need it before she dies. If the scenerio you described took place it would be stealing. If the owner wants you to have their property now they will gift it to you.
