What is statuatory power of attorney?
Originally a Power of Attorney was a deed which appointed an agent or attorney during the pleasure of the person doing the appointing. That is to say, the person holding the Power could act on behalf of the person who signed it provided that the person who signed it continued to hold him out as his agent. The power was subject to cancellation at any time.The law was that if the giver of the Power no longer had mental capacity to give it, the Power lapsed, because the giver could no longer hold the holder out as his agent.However, many people thought that a Power of Attorney would be a useful device to empower someone to look after the affairs of the incompetent--it was cheaper than getting a court order to commit someone, and the person could appoint the custodian of their choice. However, that was not possible without special legislation to allow Powers of Attorney to last under certain circumstances even when the giver is no longer mentally competent. Such Powers are called durable powers because they survive mental incompetency. Powers which lapse on the incompetency of the giver are nondurable.

Does power of attorney give you the right to exclude someone out of money and properties?
The answer depends on the nature of the power of attorney and what you mean by 'exclude'. Generally, a Durable Power of Attorney gives the attorney-in-fact the power to sign legal documents and carry on all the business of the principal even if the principal becomes incapacitated and as long as the principal is living. The POA expires upon the death of the principal. The document that created the POA should recite the powers that are granted and many powers are provided by state law. If during the course of performing their duties and exercising their power the AIF exceeds their authority, they may be liable for any damages suffered by the principal or others. If you think the AIF is acting in a way that exceeds their power you should consult with an attorney who can review the situation and advise you of your options.
