Good Luck.

Malaysia does not have inheritance tax, but it’s a topic that comes up frequently, most often when discussing the rich-poor gap (this debate takes place in Singapore too).

Based on my limited legal knowledge (you should seek legal counsel), The POA is invalid the moment the principal (in the case, your dad) passes away. The POA is valid while your dad is still alive. Upon his death, The court will appoint an administrator of his estate and it’s that person’s duty to manage his estate (following his wishes in his will if any).

Also useful to note is that the POA doesn’t give you the power to create or change your dad’s will, but it does give you full autonomy to perform the tasks in the POA.
