What if the person who has our power of attorney is incompetent?
If you are the principal all you need to do is revoke the Power of Attorney in writing and send it to the attorney-in-fact to inform him/her that their authority has been revoked. You should send or deliver a copy of the revocation to any entity or facility where the POA was used, especially your bank. You could record the revocation in the land records office. You could also protect yourself by placing a legal notice of the revocation in the local paper, keeping a copy of that page of the paper in your records.
An attorney-in-fact who will not surrender a POA can be a problem but if they use it to access your property when they know you have revoked it they are stealing and will be subject to criminal prosecution. You would be wise to protect yourself by covering all the bases thereby making it impossible for the revoked POA to be used.

Can a executor of they estate transfer her power of attorney to her daughter?
This is very tricky. It all depends on the original estate documents. If the documents state something like " If _______ is unable or unwilling to serve or ceases to act then _________ shall act..." In this case I would suggest no because the original person whose documents you are executing already covered that. However, if no one else is listed and the mother has a power of attorney that states that the daughter may act on her behalf to settle estates and trusts then yes that power can be exercised in accordance to the documentation under the guidelines of the state and the county. But as stated earlier if backup individual is listed if the first can not do the duty then no.

If the attorney-in-fact dies their powers don't need to be revoked. They can no longer exercise those powers.

A statement could be added to the new POA document informing them that the former AIF (name + date of appointment + date of death) has died. If no new AIF will be appointed then notice of the death of the AIF could be sent to any entity where the POA had been exercised such as banks, investment firms, etc.

That would depend on the cognitive ability of the patient. Some people with AD still retain the ability to comprehend such an issue. Others might be cognizant at the time the document is signed and deny later that they agreed. In many states if POA has not been validated before the diagnosis, a spouse or family member must apply for adult guardianship through probate court. Each state has specific laws concerning legal issues relating to persons who are mentally impaired. Consulting an attorney who specializes in Elder Law might be the best option.

Can a wife who is power of attorney change a will?
No. A power of attorney generally does not extend to the power to change the principal's will. There are certain instances in some state statutes where a person may direct that another person sign the will for him or her, such as where a person making the will is paralyzed. However, the person making the will would have to make that direction in view of the witnesses. In this sense, while some person other than the testator signs the will, it is not because of the laws governing agency and powers of attorney, but the laes governing the making of a valid will that permits it. As usual, you must look to the laws of the jurisdiction in which the testator is making the will to see what is and what is not permitted.
