Re: Power of attorney
His son, while husband is alive. If husband dies, a personal representative or executor must be appointed by the court (even is designated by a will) in order to have any real power. If the husband and wife have joint property, son can still exercise the father's rights over that property. If there is a conflict between the son and the wife or any fraud/breach of duty, you should see an attorney immediately.
