Why is this a family law issue?
The answer is, it depends. Assuming that the power of attorney was properly drafted and executed and filed, it will be legal in North Carolina. However, a North Carolina attorney should review the document. Further, if the person who made the power of attorney (called the principal) no longer has Florida property or assets, lives in North Carolina and is mentally competent, the person may want to make a new power of attorney in North Carolina.
