A POA is not an unlimited god-mode cheat. It ends when you die, so don’t use it to haunt your family from the grave. It also stops if you revoke it, get divorced from your agent, or if a court declares you so bonkers that you need a guardian instead.

Also, banks can be super finicky. Some refuse to honor a POA older than a year or one that’s not on their special forms. It’s like showing up to a costume party in a tuxedo and everyone else is wearing banana suits. Moral: check with the bank before you rely on it.
