It depends on the terms of the power of attorney. You would need to review the power of attorney document to see if it granted her those rights.

Can a spouse receive 1/3 of a child's part of an estate even though they were only married for one and a half years?

Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
In Nevada, if a married person dies without a Will, or has a Will from before marriage, and has separate property, property that was owned before marriage, the surviving spouse is entitled to 1/3 of the separate property and the children (2 or more) will share the 2/3 of the separate property. If the estate is worth less than $100,000 and the children are over 18, the surviving spouse gets everything, even if they were only married one day.... Absent fraud etc. This information is only intended to give general information in response to an inquiry. It does not establish an attorney client relationship.

Is it legal for a person who is not related to an incapacitated person to be his power of attorney and do you have to be a legal resident to be one?

Answered by attorney Robert Ingham Long (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at The Law Office of Robert I. Long
There is no requirement that an agent be related to the principal. The issue is whether the grant of power was knowing and willing, and made at a time when the principal had capacity to know and understand the effect of issuing the power. Also, unless the power is "durable," it does not survive a subsequent incapacity under California law.
