It depends on the Power of Attorney and what it provides the POA to do and the nature of the Trust Agreement.

The answer to your question depends upon the specific authority conferred by the power of attorney instrument, and whether such authority is springing, durable, etc. Please feel free to contact my office if you would like to schedule a consultation.
