Dead Agent's next of kin daughter saying she automatically becomes Agent
with POA for principal ( Grandpa) and wants to sell principal's house, put principal in home claiming principal has
memory problems then she, dead Agent's daughter will fly
back home.
If he is not competent and the POA has been acting for him, and the POA/Agent has died then the document needs to be examined for a "second". The second listed on the POA would become the acting agent automatically. It is highly unusual that there is not a second mentioned.
If the dead POA was a son and there is a daughter, then it will be an easy thing, if the principal is deemed not competent.to make his own decisions, for her to be appointed emergency guardian/conservator. She would then do placement and sale of home, yes.
May I ask what YOUR concern is in all of this?
The POA has to say she has the right to sell. Just because she is the daughter of the POA does not make her automatically the POA.
