Can my husband’s aunt with a power of attorney evict my husband and sell the house?

Randall C. Romei
Answered by attorney Randall C. Romei (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Ashcraft & Ashcraft, Ltd.
If your husband's mother is no longer able to live in her home, her assets will have to be used to support her in her new living arrangements. If her other assets are insufficient then her house will have to be sold. If she is not living in the home she would not qualify for Medicaid while owning the home, unless your husband is dependent upon her. An adult dependent is allowed to live in the home of someone otherwise qualified for Medicaid. But even in that case, Medicaid would place a lien on the home. As the holder of a Power of Attorney for Property the aunt was granted authority to act on behalf of the principal and deal with her assets. This would include the sale of the house. The house would not be your husband's until his mother's death. If your husband is the sole heir and legatee under the will he will receive whatever assets are not used to support his mother at the end of life. If the aunt is a cash legatee under the will then there may be an issue regarding her actions being consistent with the preferences of the mother. The mother clearly wanted her son to live in the home and the cash assets should be used up before the house is sold.

Will the estimate of the property be established the year of death of the current year?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Dianna Marie Wilke (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Wilke Law
The value of the property is established in the year of death. There are some circumstances where it would be favorable to use an alternate valuation date for tax purposes, but even that is only 6 months after the date of death, which may fall into the following year.
