Cannot make a determination with information provided.\nNeed more information regarding what kind of POA the individual has been granted and whether or not the POA is keeping the money.\n\nEven if the POA is using the interest for himself, my "knee-jerk" response would be NO, that's the purpose in having the POA.  \nHowever, if the POA is in relation to the Executor of a Will, but the POA is not listed as a beneficiary, the POA cannot touch the money for their own benefit except as outlined in the Will and the laws of the state that indicate how the money can be used to offset expenses of the POA's function.
