A conservatorship is granted by a court. It will override a power of attorney.
Yes. Once a conservator is appointed by the court the power of attorney is extinguished.
No, durable power of attorney, although meant for financial decision-making, is restricted against amending wills.
A power of attorney can only be granted by the subject. A probate court can grant a conservatorship or appoint a guardian.
Why would there be any 2006 if there was a 2003
No, it would not over ride due process. The power of attorney could ask for a delay while they sort things out.
The power to override the veto with a 2/3rds majority
Of course not. A conservatorship is allowed by a court. No one but the court has the right to "take it away" from the conservator. The step-children can petition to have the conservator removed and replaced. It will be up to a judge to decide. You should consult with an attorney who can review your situation and explain your options.

You could probably sign legal paperwork for a person who is brain dead if you have a Durable Power of Attorney from them. Of course, they would have had to have signed it before they were brain dead. And it probably has to be a DURABLE Power of Attorney, because a simple Power of Attorney usually only applies while the person is alive and not incapacitated, as they usually expire upon death or incapacity. 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!!
