You may appoint a 'secondary' (back-up) individual if you believe the first-named person can't or won't act. You can either re-write your original POA to include this person, or write a separate new one naming the secondary. Be sure that both persons are aware of each other and their duties. Make certain the POA's are signed/witnessed/notarized/whatever, as required by the laws of your state.
No. Most states if not all states have specific laws that this is one of several things the holder of a power of attorney cannot do by virtue of his authority under the power. Only the person making the will can alter it. And if, the person making the will can no longer sign papers, but states his wish to add a niece to their will in front of family witnesses?
It is the person you are naming that has the power of attorney that can be the contingent beneficiary. You would be better to create a trust and make the trust the beneficiary
An agent under a Power of Attorney would sign the principal's name on the signature line and underneath add, "by Simon Crowell, attorney-in-fact".
An attorney-in-fact under a Power of Attorney has no power or authority over their principal. They operate at the request of the principal and for the convenience of the principal. They have no power to prohibit visitations. Perhaps you could add more details on the discussion page.
Yes, you can do that. Power of attorney actually gives you limitless powers to act on your fathers behalf. So, since your father can add you to his bank account if he wants, you being the one with his power of attorney you can do the same thing, you can do anything you want on behalf of your father and it is perfectly legal.
You add exponents, so it is 10 to the 4th power, which is 10000
No. A power of attorney expires upon the death of the principal. The decedent's estate is responsible for paying the debts. A qualified person must petition the probate court to be appointed the estate representative. Once they have been appointed, they will have the power to pay debts.
By having an attorney draft a new deed and then recording it in the land records.
If Sam Harris is the attorney-in-fact for Christopher Hitchens he would sign Christopher's name on the document and underneath the signature line he would add "by Sam Harris as attorney-in-fact for Christopher Hitchens". The reason the person with the POA signs the principal's name is that the attorney-in-fact is standing in for the principal and therefore signs the principal's name to the document.
four to the fifteenth add the third to the second... and multiply it by the three answer: 1073741824
You can't add yourself to their request without their agreement. If your mother is not legally competent, the power of attorney will be granted by a Court and you can ask the Judge to include you, or name you instead of them. What the judge will do depends on who well your argue your case.ClarificationYou haven't added enough detail and you are confused about your legal terms. You haven't mentioned who the principal is. In the United States, Powers of Attorney are not granted by judges.A person must be legally competent to grant a POA and it must be done voluntarily. The principal chooses their attorney(s)-in-fact. No one has the right to "add themselves" to a Power of Attorney.On the other hand, if someone has petitioned to be appointed guardian over a legally incompetent person you can't ask the judge to "include you". Rather you would need to file your own petition. The court would launch an investigation as to the best appointment for the ward. However, we don't know what you're asking about.
Next, you are not the executor until you have been duly appointed by a court. Only a court can appoint an executor. If you don't want to take on the job of executor then when the will is filed for probate your sister can petition to be apponted the executor and you can file a declination at that time. An executor cannot assign their powers to someone else via a power of attorney document.
