power of attorney in lousinana
my husband gave power of attorney to his father years ago. We married last year. He works out of town. Our Tax person says I need power of attorney to handle our busness. Also if something happend to my husband, would everything of his have to--name removed--through his father? Do I need to get power of Attorney? Is the power of Attorney he gave his father still in affect? He gave it to his father about 8 years ago. What are my rights as a wife? We live in Lousiana

Re: power of attorney in lousinana
He should get the POA back and destroy it. It would automatically be null in case you husband died. There should be no reason for a POA unless you need to sign his name.....and then most women do it by virtue of verbal permission. Since once you got married everything is 1/2 yours, you should have your name on all accounts you want access to and vice versa.
