Can the executor close a bank account?

Monica H. Donaldson Stewart
Answered by attorney Monica H. Donaldson Stewart
Estate Planning lawyer at Donaldson Stewart, P.C.
A power of attorney expires upon the death of the Principal (the person who nominated you as the agent). After the death of Principal, someone would need to be named as the Personal Representative ("executor") of the estate in order to have authority to gather and distribute the assets. I recommend you speak with a probate attorney who can assist you in determining your best course of action.

Does a quticlaim deed to one child remove other heirs from any consideration

Arthur Harold Geffen
Answered by attorney Arthur Harold Geffen (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Dallas Estate Attorney
A quit claim deed is a deed without warranties of title from the owner of the property to one or more individuals or entities.  It effectively (even though it is not a great way to transfer title) removes the title from the owner's estate.  When the owner who deeded the interest away dies, the property is not part of his estate and thus not subject to his will or intestacy laws.

Do I have any rights to my step dad's estate if I have been taking care of him?

James Brian Thomas
Answered by attorney James Brian Thomas (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Burdette & Rice, PLLC
Claims against an estate for family caregivers can be challenging to deal with, since there is rarely any sort of a formal agreement like you might find in any other creditor/debtor relationship. However, you may certainly have such a claim for reimbursement and you should seek the aid of a local probate attorney to assist you. With regard to the division of your step-father's estate, and whether or not you might be entitled to some part of it as an heir, the answer depends upon several facts that you don't really develop through your question. Again, a probate attorney can help you begin to sort through the issues and it sounds like there are many of them.
