Can an Executor who has Power of Attorney take money out of the Estate before the estate owner dies?
The terms you used in your question are used incorrectly. A person cannot be an attorney-in-fact under a POA and an executor at the same time. A power of attorney serves a living person. There is no executor appointed until the testator dies.A POA gives an attorney-infact the authority to act on behalf of a living person (the principal). An attorney-in-fact is prohibited by law from transferring the assets of the principal to their own use. When the principal dies the power of attorney is extinguished and an estate representative must be appointed. An executor is appointed by the court if the decedent left a Will. A person isn't an executor until the will has been allowed by the probate court and the court has appointed the executor.You need to consult with an attorney ASAP who can review your situation and explain your options. You may need to sue the AIF.

Lacking a Durable Power of Attorney, you might have to petition the courts for Guardianship or Conservatorship of the person in order to sign legal paperwork for them. And making decisions regarding continued health care for an incapacitated individual might additionally require a Health Care Advance Directive, or a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care. And you should ask this question to a practicing attorney, not depend on any answer here!!
