This may have been mentioned above.
The POA ends at the death of the personal who made it.
THE POA should state that if the person becomes incompetent the powers continue. This will avoid a guardian ship.
The POA could specifically say that person can step in and perform the trustees duties, but again only while that person is alive.
Best way to handle the trust problem is to be named as the successor trustee.
The bank accounts can be set up so you have the ability to sign checks and you are not an owner of the account.
