My father-in-law just passed. He left power of attorney to his sister and brother-in-law. Do his children have any rights to arrange burial?
My father in law only has 2 children. Since he passed last night, does his children have any rights to arrange funeral and burial even though they don't have Power of Attorney?
Margaret71, hopefully the father-in-law had placed in his Will what type of arrangements he would want for his funeral.
If not, then the family needs to work as a team to arrange the funeral the way the father-in-law had wished. I'd assume father-in-law's wife has already passed, if not, then she is first in line to make the arrangements.... then comes father-in-law's children [as worriedinCali had noted].
My heartfelt sympathy to you and your family for your husband's Dad's passing.
