POA stops when the person dies.

If your father is no longer able to make decisions regarding his health then yes, a "medical POA" would have to make those decisions on his behalf. Same with the financial POA. The person with the financial POA is responsible for your father's financial affairs.

A Will only begins when the person is dead. Are you looking at some other document?
