Can someone have a felony charge and beyond for the adjudication and still be some of the POA?

Can the executor close a bank account?

Answered by attorney James Bloomfield Oberholtzer
Estate Planning lawyer at James Oberholtzer, Chartered
I am assuming that you are in Oregon and that Oregon law applies. Your question does not make sense as you have stated it. Death revokes all agency including powers of appointment. If the grantor of your power of appointment died, the power of appointment is no longer effective. If the person who died left a Will, you may be nominated as the personal representative in the Will. If so, you can probate the Will and be appointed the personal representative by the court or prepare a small estate affidavit if the estate is not composed of too much in assets and is simple enough.

What can I do to get my mother's remains from my grandmother?

Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
Does your mother's Will address her remains? Does it dispose of them to anyone? Who is named to serve as her Executrix/Executor. If it is her mother, you will have a difficult and possibly unwinnable battle. If not, then you may have a better chance of success. In either event, I suggest that you speak with a probate attorney about the issues, possible remedies and costs associated with bringing an action to recover the remains.
