We have an account where the POA is changing the beneficiaries on customers account. Grandchildren were previously named beneficiaries on elderly customers account. POA is naming herself beneficiary. i think i just read something on this site about POA changing beneficiary but I can't find it. Help!!

Most State laws will not allow this and the POA itself may not grant that specific right.

The POA document must specifically state that the attorney-in-fact can do this. Most do not allow it.
