my father seems to think he can pass it on to me but I’m guessing it’s more complicated than that.

      Your father has POA…he needs to call a lawyer and have a document drawn up saying when he dies you become POA for your mom…it does not automatically pass on.

      It should be written somewhere. If there is a will, it should be a part of that will. Otherwise there will have to be a determination made. If you are the only surviving heir, you will most likely gain power of attorney, put it is easier to pass on if it is written down.
