Unless other circumstances exist that your question doesn't reveal, the answer is "yes". Different types of Powers of Attorney exist, however, so you should have an attorney review it before you attempt to use it. If you need more information, send me an email at "[email protected]."

Yes. There is nothing which prohibits a Personal Representative from also being an attorney-in-fact, and a PR commonly holds both positions of trust, particularly in Medical Directives and POA's for health-care.
