In case one isn't available
You can have one power of attorney over your children to a close relative due to relationship reasons.
The other power of attorney could be assigned to a person that is fluent with legalities on real estate proceedings and assets.
Awarding power of attorney to certain people that are not familiar with your situation is not always the best idea.
If the power of attorney represents the deceased, no, they cannot. A power of attorney expires on the death of the grantor.
People can dispute whatever they want. But, assuming the power of attorney was for you if you become incapacitated or incompetent and named your mother as your power of attorney in that instance, she'll lose if she disputes it. You can name whomever you want as your power of attorney and no judge anywhere would rule otherwise.
You can mail the power of attorney form to the inmate. He/she would need to sign it and return it to you.
When someone dies and leaves a will, it does not always state who has power of attorney. To gain power of attorney, one would need to complete a form, naming the person they wish to pass power of attorney to.
You wouldn't need one, as a power of attorney only represents a living person. After their death, a power of attorney would no longer be valid. You need letters of authority to close the estate.
A power of attorney represents a living person. The executor represents the estate after death. After their death, the power of attorney is no longer valid. They can be two different people.
Only the grantor can remove a power of attorney. In some cases that would be the court.
A general Durable Power of Attorney provides the attorney-in-fact with broad powers. However, a person can execute a Power of Attorney that specifically limits the powers and duties of the attorney-in-fact. It can be tailored to exactly meet the needs of the principal and it should be drafted by an attorney. A separate health care proxy that names a different individual could be drafted at the same time by the same attorney who can make certain the desires of the principal have been properly expressed and addressed and the powers of the two agents do not overlap.
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".
You don't "take" a Power of Attorney. It must be voluntarily granted by the principal and the principal must be legally capable of executing it. Dad's wife would need to execute a Power of Attorney for herself.
No, a power of attorney cannot delegate their authority to another power of attorney.
If the husband doesn't give her the power of attorney, there is no way for her to get it. She will have to take the paperwork to him to be signed. He could grant her a power of attorney if he would like to.
