Which home from the will should be sold first?

Dara J. Goldsmith
Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
Generally speaking if your aunt's residence qualifies as her residence for Medicaid and she has an intent to return to it, then that home should be maintained and the other home sold. Make sure that her residence has a homestead filed upon it for her benefit. You do not address if she is competent or if a guardian s or attorney in fact is considering the sale. Those are important facts. If you have additional questions or want to address the specifics of the issue or how the ademption can/should be dealt with, please seek legal counsel.

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

Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
Power of attorney dies with the principal. There is no point in being named power of attorney for a decedent. It is the personal representative of the estate who controls all the assets (if your mother had no will, then the administrator of the estate).

Which home from the will should be sold first?

Answered by attorney James Brian Thomas (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Burdette & Rice, PLLC
It's completely up to your aunt at this point. The fact that an asset is identified in her Will today is entirely irrelevant. Your aunt's Will becomes effective when two things happen: (1) she dies, and (2) the document is admitted to probate. Before those two events occur, your aunt can do whatever she chooses to do with either piece of property.
