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

Answered by attorney James P. Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
You are confused or have been misinformed. A Power of Attorney is only used for a living person. Once a person has died, any Power of Attorney terminates upon death. At this point, if there is an estate, you need to be named Personal Representative of the estate. That requires probate proceedings. It is a highly technical process and should not be attempted without the assistance of an attorney.

Can the executor close a bank account?

Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
If the principle has passed away, your power of attorney is no longer in force. In order to deal with the decedent's bank accounts, you need to be appointed personal representative (executor is the old term) and present the bank with a death certificate and your Letters Testamentary (issued by the court).

Is an un-notarized will valid?

Dara J. Goldsmith
Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
If the Will meets the other requirements and is witnessed by two disinterested persons, of which you can locate one to sign an appropriate affidavit, the Will may be valid. If it is not witnessed and is solely in her own handwriting, and the will is dated, signed and sets froth that it intends to dispose of her property upon her death, it may be valid as a holographic Will. You should probably speak with an attorney and have the Will reviewed.
