Re: power of attorney dies

The person now authorized to act as agent("attorney in fact") would be the one named as successor agent in the Power of Attorney declaration. If no successor was chosen by your friends mother than a court(Gaurdianship)must now determine,as it appears she no longer has capacity to do so.
