POAs by definition are designated or "assigned" by the person giving the POA. Otherwise should you become incapacitated a suitable Guardian Conservator or Advocate would be appoitned by the Court which migh appoint a family member or third party (corporation) to act in your stead. Best to designate a close friend if you dont trust your children to do it.

An interested party would have to petition the court for a guardianship/conservatorship.
