In California your will and trust will control the distribution of your estate. Power of attorney is terminated when you die. If you have any doubt about the sufficiency of your documents see an estate planning attorney.

Make out a Will that says exactly that. Consult with an estate attorney to plan the whole thing out properly. Good luck.

You should talk with an estate planning lawyer to draw up a will and make sure she will be qualified to serve as a Florida appointed PR.

There is no such thing as a living power of will. Given that you apparently drafted something non-existent, get a lawyer and do proper estate planning.
