Power Of Attorney Termination

Summary

A power of attorney becomes invalid upon the death of the grantor. If there is no will, assets are distributed according to intestacy laws, which typically favor the surviving spouse. Consult a local attorney for specific advice.

I was given power attorney by my father years ago.He died years ago.Can he stop the power of attorney without my signature
A power of attorney generally becomes invalid once the person who granted it (your father in this case) passes away. This happens automatically and doesn't require your signature. Please consult with a legal professional in your local area for specific guidance.
So if there was no will everything went to his wife
In general, if there's no will, the deceased's assets will be distributed according to the intestacy laws of their jurisdiction. Usually, the surviving spouse gets a portion, or all, depending on the existence of other descendants. Please confirm your location for more specific information.
