How can we find out cause of death if we don't have power of attorney?

Dara J. Goldsmith
Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
A power of attorney dies with the maker, as such the nursing home may not be able to speak with the attorney-in-fact either. The options are try to order a death certificate, it will include the cause of death. As a family member the County may be willing to provide you with one. The cost is about $20.00; or you may need to go into probate court to get an order that enables you to access that information. The last alternative is the most costly.

How can I obtain a power of attorney from my father who has dementia?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Donald Keith Broad (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Broad Law Firm, LLC
If he is not mentally competent to sign a Power of Attorney, then your only option will likely be to seek a Court appointed guardian. In Indiana, the process for this task is to file a Petition to Appoint a Guardian, notifying all relatives of the proceeding. The Court then appoints a temporary guardian to determine for the Court if the person truly needs a permanent guardian. Then a hearing is held and a guardian is appointed. You can request that the Court appoint you as the Guardian. In Indiana, the process generally takes a month or two to complete. You should seek the advice of an estate planning or elder law attorney in your area.

Do I have access to my stepdad's accounts after he dies?

Dara J. Goldsmith
Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
The only people who have access to an account after death are persons named on the account (POD beneficiary/joint tenant/ co-owner) and persons who have been appointed to serve as personal representatives of an estate. Unless you meet those criteria, you would not have access.
