If someone has power of attorney, does that give them the right to claim anything belonging to the grantee or close out there bank account??
Answer isit depends on what the grantee granted. Powers of Attorney can over any number or areas. It will be specified in the powers granted. Yes, they can if they have been granted those rights/powers.
claim anything is pretty odd wording. You can't steal something. Close out a bank account? If it is a standard financial POA, it give the power to transact financially; closing an account would certainly fall under that power.
