My friend had poa for her dad. He has passed away. She wanted to put her name on the deed to his hose. She does not have the original poa form and the attorney gave her both the originals and only has a copy. She lost both originals.
Can she still put her name on the deed using a copy of the poa.

Power of Attorney is only in force while the father was alive and no longer able to sign due to illness. If she is the sole beneficiary, she needs to ask advice of her attorney if she wants to change the deed, if the property was bequeated to her, that is.

The POA died when the father died. Now she needs to probate the Will (if there is one) or consult with an Attorney about setting up and closing an estate.
