Which home from the will should be sold first?

Answered by attorney Larry Dale Webb (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Larry Webb
Not enough information to answer the question. However, the Will has no legal effect while she is alive. Is there a Trust? Is she competent? What does she want to do, it's her property until she dies. She can change her Will any time she wants to. She can sell any property that she may have mentioned in the Will.

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

Answered by attorney Charles Richard Perry (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Charles R. Perry
A power of attorney is no longer valid once the person who signed the power has died. Even if your mother had signed a power of attorney, then, it would not help you now. It's not possible to tell you what to do now, without receiving more information. You may have to probate your mother's estate, or there may be a way around probate. The question depends mostly on the size of your mother's estate. You can do some reading on the subject of probate, you can talk to a lawyer who handles probate matters, or both.

What do I ask an attorney on a first visit if he/she is reviewing a legal document (trust)?

Terry Lynn Garrett
Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
Your friend, not you, should ask questions.  The basic question is whether the trust agreement is valid.  The follow up question is a request for an explanation of its terms.  Further questions depend on the answers to these and on the current situation.
