Will the estate go to my mother or to the power of attorney?

Brian Chew
Answered by attorney Brian Chew
Estate Planning lawyer at OC Wills and Trust Attorneys
Your father's power of attorney is not relevant once he passes. The terms of his trust and/or will dictates who is in charge of the assets and who will receive them.

If the wife doesn't apply for administrator after the death of her spouse, can one of their children apply?

Monica H. Donaldson Stewart
Answered by attorney Monica H. Donaldson Stewart
Estate Planning lawyer at Donaldson Stewart, P.C.
If a surviving spouse does not want to exercise the priority of being the personal representative of the estate, the next priority would be the deceased person's children. In order for only one of those children to serve, they probably need to have the surviving spouse and the other siblings "waive" their own right to be appointed. I recommend you consult with an attorney to discuss this matter in greater detail.

Will the IRS take the home left to my brother in a will? How?

Estate Planning lawyer at Edward L. Armstrong, P.C.
If the son to whom she wishes to leave property owes the IRS $30,000, in all probability they will assess a lien against the property and ultimately take it, sell it and apply the proceeds against the tax owed.
