A power of attorney is a legal document that gives someone the authority to make decisions on behalf of another person while they are alive.

The main difference is that a power of attorney's authority ends upon the person's death, while an executor's responsibilities begin after the person has passed away.

You have problems. In general, when there are more than one executor, a majority of the executors rules on any one decision or action. That is easy. The difficult situation is where there are only 2 executors and if they disagree there is no majority. When there are two executors, all decisions and actions must be unanimous. If they disagree on something they either have to go to court and have the court make the decision or, if there is no hope of them ever agreeing on anything, then they should go to court to have one removed or have both removed and an impartial person appointed to serve as the sole executor.

An executor is responsible for managing a deceased person's estate and carrying out their wishes as outlined in their will. A power of attorney, on the other hand, is appointed by a living person to make decisions on their behalf if they are unable to do so themselves. Both roles involve managing someone's affairs, but the executor's duties are typically focused on handling the deceased person's estate, while the power of attorney's responsibilities are more about making decisions for the living person.
