Re: my dad's checking account

A power of attorney and the will are 2 different things. If she has a power of attorney for the father, and it allows her to write checks on his account to pay bills, that is what she needs. Otherwise, you are going to need an attorney to discuss other options. There are other details that I would need to know to answer completely.
