Generally, no, unless the PoA specifically includes that authority.
The Statute of Wills in most states has its own separate provisions, and are generally not included in a broad non-specific power of attorney.
But all laws vary by state, and only a licensed attorney can provide specific legal advice about a given factual situation.

The attorney holder cannot change the will of the executant. This is an exclusive right of an individual for which no attorney could be executed.

no, it merely allows you to sign for them, if they are not present.
The person who you have POA over still has the last say about all choices and can over ride the POA at any time.
You need to be a guardian of someone to make thier legal choices for them.

You would do better to consult a probate lawyer than Yahoo Answers.

No. It just allows you to manage people's accounts if they become incapacitated. It ceases with death, as you probably already know.

NO! a POW will only let you execute the will if the assigned executor is unable to do so.
