Re: power of atorney

If the power of attorney (POA) is written the way you have indicated, maybe not. However, typically a POA does not have restrictions on use. If it was a typical POA, then the holder of the POA (your Grandfather) has the right to use the power as he sees fit. I would have to see the actual POA to see if there was anything that would change my mind. You could contact me if you want to pursue this further.
