power of attorney
My husband has signed a General Power of Attorney to his brother. In the event that my husband should pass, how would this effect me? We were married before this was signed.

Re: power of attorney
All powers of attorney terminate automatically on death. Unless it provides specifically that it survives your husband’s incapacity (a “durable” power of attorney), it would also terminate whenever he became legally incapacitated.
A more detailed answer would require an attorney to review the exact wording of the document.
