Q: If the person didnt have no poa will or anything is the mother allowed to pick checks up from job and cash them
A:
If the person REQUESTED this of his mother, and let his agents (eg the workplace and bank) know he was sending his mother to do this, then sure. Such agency does not NEED to be in writing if the parties all agree on it verbally.
This is becoming less and less common however, as most banks don't even like written PoAs any more!
I assume there is more to the question however. If you DO still have questions, it makes sense to find a local lawyer who can meet with you to discuss things fully. Most will meet for a short no cost no obligation appointment, and only charge a small fee if you need more time than their 10-20 minute 'brief' visit will allow. Don't be afraid to call and make an appointment with someone nearby!
