Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Ohio

A power of attorney is can work even for out-of-state matters, but only as long as the person who drew it up is alive. In your case, it is no longer effective.

I agree with Atty Patete, in that the POA is only valid while your father is alive. Any assets that he died with in his name alone would pass by the laws of intestate succession and go to his children. If there are assets held jointly with survivorship rights would pass to the survivor and assets that have a beneficiary designation would pass directly to the beneficiary listed.
