Can the executor close a bank account?

James Bloomfield Oberholtzer
Answered by attorney James Bloomfield Oberholtzer
Estate Planning lawyer at James Oberholtzer, Chartered
I am assuming that you are in Oregon and that Oregon law applies. Your question does not make sense as you have stated it. Death revokes all agency including powers of appointment. If the grantor of your power of appointment died, the power of appointment is no longer effective. If the person who died left a Will, you may be nominated as the personal representative in the Will. If so, you can probate the Will and be appointed the personal representative by the court or prepare a small estate affidavit if the estate is not composed of too much in assets and is simple enough.

Can i block an Affidavit?

Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
If you are not married, you get nothing.  You may think that you are "common law" married but that is very difficult to prove.

Should i hire a probate lawyer

Terry Lynn Garrett
Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
Please take whatever documents you have to a probate lawyer (preferrably one who does fiduciary litigtion) who practices in the county in which the people died.  Please also note that the Texas Estates Code now permits an heir or beneficiary or someone who can convince the Court that they are interested in someone's well-being to ask the Court to look into the actions of an agent under a Durable Power of Attorney.
