Must I list my illegitimate child in my will?

Kimberly Demetrice French
Answered by attorney Kimberly Demetrice French (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Kimberly D. Moss, PLLC
You may draft your last will & testament as you please, but it is advisable that you list all of your children in your will so that their identities are known and to prevent others from coming forward and claiming to be a rightful heir upon your death. You may gift as much or as little of your assets to your children as you please, but it is probably a good idea to include all of their names for identification purposes.

Would a Statutory Durable POA override a spouse?

Answered by attorney William R. Pelger
Estate Planning lawyer at Pelger Law
I think the POA overrides the prior spouse, even if the prior marriage is ruled valid. I do believe, at least in my state, PA, a married person can designate whoever he or she wants as agent in a POA notwithstanding blood or marriage. WHere blood or marriage come in is with the will, for inheritance. Make sure he has a will, so in the event the last wife would contest the estate and the prior marriage be ruled in her favor she wont get the bulk of the estate. See a local TX lawyer for more specific details regarding TX law.

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

Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
A power of attorney dies with the maker, so even if you had one it is no longer valid. You need to consult a probate attorney.
