Re: Estate wills
A power of attorney is a document signed by someone giving someone else the authority to do something for the signer while the signer is still alive. A will is a document stating to whom you wish your assets to go upon your death and appointing an executor or personal representative to handle the process. Although I do not know of any reason a convicted felon could not be given power of attorney, a convicted felon is not allowed to act as executor or personal representative under a will.
