You cannot transfer the Power of Attorney.  If your grandmother is competent, you should have her do a new Power of Attorney to you.  If she is not competent, or capable of understanding, you may need to consider doing a guardianship.  If you are doing a POA for your grandmother, plan ahead, and have your grandfather do one also.
