POD - means payable on death and is usually attached to a bank account so that the funds in the account pass directly to the named beneficiary. This allows the transfer of money in a direct way and is not subject to probate. A Will can be all encompassing and the items passed on in the Will, is subject to probate administration and taxes if applicable.

Can someone remove a Payable of Death off the account if they were not the original owner?

No one other than the owner of the account can change the POD beneficiary. However, there is a conceivable possibility that a person with a sole account naming a POD beneficiary later added a joint owner to that account. Upon the death of the original owner that account would become the sole property of the surviving joint owner who could then change the POD beneficiary.
