Anybody can write a will. However, only the individual can write a will for their own property. A power of attorney does NOT give the individual the ability to write a will for the grantor.

A power of attorney ceases upon the death of the grantor. For a deceased person, you must be appointed their executor or representative by a court. Generally, if the person had signficant assets or a complex situation this means you need to open an estate, for persons with few assets, most states have a simpler alternative.


A relative died living you the beneficary but you are not sure what insurance company how do you find out?

You may be the beneficiary of the will and there may not be any insurance. If you were named on an insurance policy, the insurance company will find you. They have your name and probably your address, both of which are required to name you as the beneficiary. Also contact the executor of the will, as they may have records on the policies involved.
