- It is called 'Power of Attorney' when a person is still living, but unable to make their own decisions regarding money or medical matters. No, the elderly person if found incompetent cannot change the executor in the Will. If for instance the executor is John Doe, but Power of Attorney is Jane Zero then Jane Zero will be the one making decisions over money and medical matters according to the elderly person's Will. One can hire a lawyer to see if there are any legal loop holes to change things around should there be any problems protecting the elderly person as the Power of Attorney or Executor as it stands to date.

What are the incompetency laws in Indiana?
According to a South Bend attorney, it takes more than a doctor and social worker to have a person declared incompetent. The elderly (presumably) person must be served with legal papers, taken into court, and judged incompetent by the court. An expensive and humiliating process. Your best bet, as with anything like this, is to consult a lawyer in the jurisdiction.
