More details to this question:
my friend gave me personal property she wanted me to keep safe from her son(no money or jewelry) who just found out and threatening to have me arrested if I don't give the items to him. She was admitted to the hospital and told me NOT to give him the items. I've had these items for over 30 days. What are my rights? He has a POA on her but he has become very ugly to his Mom. I believe he has mental problems.

Apologies! I misread your question. But the answer is the same: follow her directions. The son's position as agent does not remove his mother's right to control distribution of her own property while she is alive.

Your duty as her agent is to follow her directions. Whether or not he may inherit them when she is gone, he has no right to them now.
