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

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Charles Richard Perry (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Charles R. Perry
A power of attorney is no longer valid once the person who signed the power has died. Even if your mother had signed a power of attorney, then, it would not help you now. It's not possible to tell you what to do now, without receiving more information. You may have to probate your mother's estate, or there may be a way around probate. The question depends mostly on the size of your mother's estate. You can do some reading on the subject of probate, you can talk to a lawyer who handles probate matters, or both.

When you become an administrator of an estate, how do you know your duties?

Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
All of those issues are addressed in the statutes. You are charged with knowing the law. I suggest you make inquiry of your attorney, or if you do not have one, you may wish to hire one.

Which home from the will should be sold first?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
A very tough question, which can't really be answered on a website. The will does not "speak" until your aunt passes away. First question is, is your aunt still competent? If yes, it is her call which house gets sold. If no, and you are acting under power of attorney, it gets complicated; you need to respect her estate plan, but that will not be easy to do. In that case, you need a lawyer to work through this so you do not end up with liability to a nephew who loses out.
