Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Alabama

Re: Power of Attorney

First, if your sister has a power of attorney, then she should be able to send you a copy in order to prove it. If will not prove it, then you should not assume that she is telling the truth.

A power of attorney is limited to the authority that it gives to the "attorney". It does not replace the authority that others have by their own right. You and your older sister have rights as family of your father. Do what you consider proper.

You may have to file suit to make one of you, probably older sister, the administrator of his property in Alabama. Every state has laws and proceedures for the administration of the estates of persons who cannot manage their own affairs.

All of this having been said, a power of attorney can (if properly written and executed) be lawful in any state.
