If there are 3 heirs and 1 had a power of attorney and dies, what happens to distribution?

Randall C. Romei
Answered by attorney Randall C. Romei (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Ashcraft & Ashcraft, Ltd.
A POA has no effect on distribution from an estate. If the grandfather's estate had a value of greater than $100,000 or contained real estate then there should be a probate opened to deal with the distribution of estate assets. Assets held in a trust are not likely to be estate assets subject to probate. Joint tenancy property and property having designated beneficiaries are not part of the probate estate by operation of law. You do not state how the siblings are direct heirs, if it is by descent or as a named beneficiary in a Trust or Will. If there is a Trust or Will then the terms of the Trust or Will control the distribution. If the grandfather did not have a Trust or Will then the rules of descent and distribution apply. If an heir or legatee was alive at the time of the death of a decedent (the brother died after the grandfather) then the share being distributed to the heir does not change even though the heir dies before the distribution. The distribution that would have gone to the heir would now go to the heir's estate. If the heir or legatee predeceased the decedent (the brother died before the grandfather) then the share due the deceased brother passes to his descendants per stirpes, if any.

Can my husband as her POA do these types of transactions since the POA document does not limit his powers?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Jon Ahmed Zahaby (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Zahaby Law Offices
If your husband has broad powers, generally, he can take care of financial affairs as Power of Attorney. However, the Power of Attorney would have to be examined in order to give a complete answer. Some organizations require that power of the specific type of account be expressly mentioned in the Power of Attorney.

Is my new husband entitled to the house that I received from a divorce?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Norman Harry Green (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Irsfeld, Irsfeld & Younger LLP
Your daughter is wrong. If you have a will leaving it to your daughter (or anyone other than your husband) then he only gets his community property interest. If you are using community income to make payments on the house or to pay for improvements, then he will get some limited amount of community interest in it unless you have a valid agreement to the contrary.
