You are essentially responsible for her financial matters if she is unable to perform them for herself.

It depends if it is an enduring Power of Attorney, or one that is specifies what it can do.

If it is enduring, then you can do what ever you need to doin the best interests of the person who gave the Power. If your grandmother loses her faculties, then you have to inform the Court of Protection.
