If daughter has mothers power of attorney she can act for mother. If she was named as Executor of father's will she has authority over his Estate. However, she is still held liable if she does not act in a reasonable manner and/or misuses assets.

Can an adopted son who changed his name back to his birth name be given rights to his adoptive parents property?

Answered by attorney Victor L. Waid (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
The natural parents would have had to will the property to him, as he lost all rights to inherit after he was adopted, unless they adopted him back. You need to obtain the assistance of a probate litigation lawyer right away to prevent him from disposing of the assets without a court determination of the rightful owners.

Estate Planning lawyer at The Wideman Law Center, P.C.
I would need to see the letter, but I believe that such a designation of authority could be given to you if properly written and signed.
