A person does not "file for a power of attorney". A POA is granted by one person (the principal) to another person (the attorney in fact or agent) she has chosen to act on her behalf. It confers the authority to perform certain specified acts for the principal. When there is real estate involved the POA must be recorded in the land records.

∙ 11y agoI don't think it is since it shows you can be that person in any contract anywhere. If you have an attorney handling matters for you they keep it so they can handle estate or use ity to represent you in the matter at hand. otherwise you use it on that person's behalf whenever you must show you have authority to act for them and where. Someone will correct me if I am wrong. You have to be careful who you give it to won't abuse it since it takes a lot of red tape to undo.

∙ 8y agoUnless you are absolutely sure about what you're doing and fully informed about the consequences, you should consult an attorney. A POA grants sweeping powers to your attorney-in-fact. They will have complete access to your assets with no oversight and will need to be honest and diligent about keeping good records.
You need to decide whether the POA will be general, which will expire if you become incapacitated, or durable, which will remain in effect if you become incapacitated. Your attorney-in-fact should keep a record of all the money coming in and all the money going out by their hand. They must be trustworthy, organized, intelligent, reliable and act in a professional manner where your finances and property are concerned. An attorney-in-fact who mismanages the assets of an elderly person can cause a disqualification for benefits. Most important, if you should become unable to make your own decisions they must be someone who will act in your best interest.

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.
