You cannot 'take' a power of attorney. The individual has to give it to the party, or a court has to appoint someone.
Traditionally when a person creates a will it is filed with an attorney and they log it into the county of residence. A copy is usually given to the originator, the attorney and someone the originator approves of to take care of it.
Ask your attorney. If the actions are baseless then the attorney can take action against the other party.
The fact that there is a will doesn't matter. The power of attorney is valid until the death of the person it is associated with, or it is revoked, whichever comes first. The guardian is responsible for taking care of the individual. If the person handing the money (power of attorney) can't agree, they will have to go to the probate court for resolution.
Go and see a solicitor (attorney).
"To become an attorney you need to go to college, and then get accepted into and finish Law School. After you graduate you will need to take the Bar exam in your state."
Anyone can act as a power of attorney for someone else. You do not have to be an attorney
It does not make sense that someone would have to pay an attorney tax. If someone needs the counsel of a tax attorney, that is another matter. A tax attorney handles issues around tax and the IRS.
Probably not. It depends on the specific circumstances. You should consult an attorney.
Hire another attorney, or find an attorney that will work probono (offer ~50% to insure you find someone who will take it). He will guide you the rest of the way. Also If you have a complaint with an attorney you should contact the local Bar Association as they are the regulatory body governing attorney conduct.
No, to the first part of the question. It is NOT illegal for an attorney to write a person's will for them. To the second part of the question: Trusts aren't "left" to an attorney. A 'trust' by definition is something left in the care of someone for the eventual benefit of someone else. The attorney doesn't inherit or take over a trust, he ADMINISTERS it until the stipulations set forth in the decedent's will are either met or they expire.
That would be most simply done by granting a Power of Attorney.
