First, a Power of Attorney expires upon the death of the principal.

Second, an attorney-in-fact under an active POA cannot make changes to the principal's will.

Third, an executor has no power or authority until the testator has died, the will has been allowed by the probate court and the court has officially appointed the executor.

Fourth, an executor cannot make changes to the will. That is against the law.

Fifth, any person who is attempting to do the action described in the question should be reported to the probate court.
