QuestionDear lawyers! I am taking care of my aunt (born in 1915) who was a prisoner in Germany during the war. She is entitled to receive a compensation from the fund of common understanding and reconciliation. The payment will take place till the end of 2005. Her health is getting worse. Can she issue a power of attorney in my name for receiving the money after her death?
!
AnswerAccording to Art. 188 part 1 item 6 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation a power of attorney is considered terminated upon issuer's death, i.e. after your aunt's death you will not be able to receive any compensations instead of her.
Articles and consultations authored by attorney reflect the state of law as of the date of their writing. The laws change daily. Users of this site are advised to consult attorney regarding their situation.
The highest compliment you can pay me is the referral of a friend or a relative.
