What can we do if my aunt died and the funeral policy must be signed by her sister who is in a coma?

If he has a power of attorney for his wife then he probably can. The power of attorney will need to be reviewed to determine if he can sign a contract for her. Good luck. If he does not you may need to petition the probate court for an order. This information is only intended to give general information in response to an inquiry. It does not establish an attorney client relationship. This response is only based upon the limited facts presented and is merely intended to assist you in determining if you should contact an attorney to provide you with legal advice.

What are the legal rights of a spouse who just discovered his/her recently deceased mate never divorced the first spouse?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Richard J Kaplan (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Richard J. Kaplan, P.A.
I can't answer all aspects of the problem, but the main point I can. Since the decedent was married when they married Spouse B, the marriage to Spouse B was not legal (void ab initio) and Florida does not have common law marriage. I had this happen once with a client of mine years ago in that the client got remarried before the final judgment of divorce. So they had to get married again to Spouse B after the divorce was final to make it legal. If Spouse B is a Florida resident, they can qualify to be the personal representative, but the parents would have better standing to serve and could request it. What will happen will depend upon the Judge, and any other opinions would require in depth research.

Does a will become invalid if the residence changes states?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Richard J Kaplan (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Richard J. Kaplan, P.A.
While recommended, it may not be necessarily required. The question is whether a Maryland Will complies with Florida law once the Testator/Testatrix becomes a Florida resident. Florida basically requires 2 witnesses and that the Will is signed at the end in front of everyone who signs the Will. If it does, it can be valid. If not, it won't. The Will does not have to be changed just because your daughter changed her name. But if you update your Will, it should be updated as well.
