Can I change the locks of a home to a person who just died and has no will?

Kimberly Demetrice French
Answered by attorney Kimberly Demetrice French (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Kimberly D. Moss, PLLC
If you are not a blood relative of this person, and his family is now coming to assert ownership of his property and belongings, you cannot legally change the locks of his home. Even without a will, a person's belongings pass by a law known as intestate succession, so the relatives coming out of the woodwork have a legal claim to the residence as well as any other items of value he left behind. They can assert this claim by filing a small estate affidavit in the county where your friend died.

When someone says they have Power Of Attorney, should they have a document with the signature of the person they are making the decision for?

Eric James Smith
Answered by attorney Eric James Smith (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Eric J. Smith
A power of attorney is a delegation or sharing of rights by a living person and is invalid after the death of the principle. An agent acting under power of attorney should have the document, though in Texas a copy of the document has the same force and effect as the original. Also in Texas, a medical power of attorney and a statutory durable power of attorney are generally 2 separate documents governing medical and financial matters, respectively. The statutory form for power of attorney in Texas requires the principle sign before a notary.
