What do I do if my mother has passed without signing over a power of attorney?

James E. Reed
Answered by attorney James E. Reed
Estate Planning lawyer at Vandervoort, Christ & Fisher, P.C.
When a person dies, they no longer can give a power of attorney and any power of attorney they gave before their death terminates. What is likely needed at this point is a probate petition to have a personal representative of the estate appointed.

If my father planned for separation, does this factor into her claim?

Answered by attorney Ronald K. Nims (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Ronald K. Nims
Ohio only recognizes a persons matrimonial status to be 1. Married or 2. Single. As long as he was married to your stepmother, she qualifies as his surviving spouse and is entitled to 1/3rd of his estate. However, if they had a written or court ordered separation, that takes away her inheritance rights, that would void her rights to any part of his estate.

If one heir out of 6 refuses to sign for a house to be sold, is there a way the others can sell it without that signature?

Answered by attorney Norman Harry Green (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Irsfeld, Irsfeld & Younger LLP
Yes. If the house is still in probate, the ordinary and usual way to sell is for the personal representative (administrator) to petition the court for approval of the sale. Consent of all 6 not required. If it already is owned of record by 6 owners, they can file a suit for partition, and the court will order sale.
