If the power of attorney expires when my father passed away, who is to sign the quick claim deed to transfer my father’s home ownership and title?

Answered by attorney James P. Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
More information is needed to answer your question. WHAT Quit Claim Deed are you referring to? The one that your father should have already had his attorney prepare? Or the Personal Representative Deed that the Personal Representative would need to sign once an estate is open? It sounds like your father has been possibly trying to do his estate planning on his own or on the cheap. If that is the case, then he needs to meet with an estate planning attorney as soon as possible.

What are my duties and rights as an executor of fathers will?

David L. Leon
Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
You need to go to probate court and get letters issued. Once you get the letters issued, you can contact the bank and let them know that money was taken out of the account post mortem. If your mother is not on that account and didn't have permission, then she may have committed a crime.

What are my duties and rights as an executor of fathers will?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Jayne L. Sebby (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Jayne L. Sebby
As executor, you are responsible for notifying all of your father's creditors and debtors of his death, collecting all of his assets and any money or goods owed to him, paying off all of his bills including end-of-life expenses and funeral expenses from the assets of the estate, determining and paying all taxes and estate taxes due also from assets in the estate, and then distributing the remaining assets according to the terms of his will. If your mother co-owned each of the accounts with your father, she is probably entitled to the money. If not, she will probably have to pay it back or accept it in exchange for something else she was bequeathed in the will. Most state grant surviving spouses a pre-set sum or percentage of an estate to help them pay bills, etc. until the estate is settled.
