What legal rights do we his children have as his heirs to the home or other assets he left behind?

Bernard H. Greenberg
Answered by attorney Bernard H. Greenberg
Estate Planning lawyer at Kokish & Goldmanis, P.C.
You have few, if any, rights. However, if your father died without a Will, and owned property in his own name, not in joint tenancy, you may have some interest in his estate. Another hurdle you face is having waited so long. You should immediately consult with an attorney who specializes in estate matters to determine where you stand.

What can be done if the DPOA and DNR forms were incomplete and resident was not resuscitated in ER?

Answered by attorney Jayne L. Sebby (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Jayne L. Sebby
I doubt there is any liability on anyone's part. The deceased apparently wished not to be resuscitated because he or she signed DNR and DPOA forms, even if they weren't properly witnessed. The hospital needed someone to confirm the DNR, relied on the information the nursing home had been given by the family, and contacted the person everyone believed had the authority to respond. That person confirmed the deceased's wishes. The hospital didn't have time to contact everyone who might have an opinion on the matter because it was an emergency situation. Even if the documents were invalid, the hospital contacted an immediate family member and asked for directions. Once given directions, the hospital complied. The only way there might be some liability would be if the DNR and DPOA were forged by someone who knew that the deceased had other wishes.
