Is there a conflict between a Durable Power of Attorney and an Executor of a will?

Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
No. A power of attorney dies with the power grantor. An executor of a will has no power under the will until the death of the testator (person who wrote the will.) That being said, both the power holder under the POA and the executor are fiduciaries. This means that the power holder and executor must put the interests of the power grantor/ estate in front of their own interests.
