Does a General Power of Attorney cease and become null and void after death, or does it continue so I can handle everything that needs to be handled? I am in Louisiana.

  1. A power of attorney ceases at death. After death the executor or administrator takes over.

  2. I agree with Mr. Maguire…..however, an executor or administrator must be appointed by a court.
