Re: power of attorney
A power of attorney is only valid as long as someone is alive; an "estate" comes into play after his or her death. How your father's estate is distributed depends on his will or other estate plan at his death, not on a power of attorney.

The power of attorney does not affect the distribution of his estate in any way.
