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

Bernard H. Greenberg
Answered by attorney Bernard H. Greenberg
Estate Planning lawyer at Kokish & Goldmanis, P.C.
Since a Power of Attorney is only valid while she is alive, there is nothing you can do now to be placed on her Power of Attorney. That document has no validity upon her death.

Can the executor close a bank account?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
If the principle has passed away, your power of attorney is no longer in force. In order to deal with the decedent's bank accounts, you need to be appointed personal representative (executor is the old term) and present the bank with a death certificate and your Letters Testamentary (issued by the court).

Can I get control over my father's estate if I live in a different estate than he does?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
You need to be more specific about what you are trying to do. Is your father alive or dead? If he is dead, was there a Will? Are there other beneficiaries/heirs? Is anyone going to contest your appointment? If not, then you can certainly file to become personal representative. I have handled MANY estates where the PRs are from out of state. It is generally not difficult. If your father is still alive, is he competent? If not, then the only way to get control would be to go through probate and be appointed guardian/conservator. This is not complicated, but it can be expensive. Feel free to send me additional facts and I will try to provide you more information.
