Your father was the one who needed to execute the power of attorney and have it notarized -- not you.
I agree with Mr. McCormick, to some extent. I would have to review the power of attorney, although Mr. Cohen does bring up a valid point. The person granting the power of attorney has to sign, not the person receiving a power of attorney. In other words, your father would have to sign, and have his signature notarized, not yours.
Another issue is whether the specific bank account was mentioned in the power of attorney.
