We have been married for 30 years, if I die with all property in my name, will my wife get the property?

David L. Leon
Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
Your property will pass by your will, if you have one, or the intestacy statute if you have no will. If you have no will, then you have to look at how you acquired the property. Was it separate or community? Separate property and community property are divided differently.

When someone says they have Power Of Attorney, should they have a document with the signature of the person they are making the decision for?

Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
The POA dies with the power grantor. The document needs to be signed by the power grantor and notarized. A witness is not necessary.

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

Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
In Lincoln County, the judge sends a very brief letter generally outlining the duties of the administrator. It barely scratches the surface. Do yourself, and the other heirs, a favor, and hire a lawyer to help you with the probate. There are five chapters of Oregon law dealing exclusively with probate, and many more statutes that affect or are affected by probate issues. After 12 years of doing probates, I still don't know it all. Doing the probate right, it is a clean and open process that ensures that the decedent's debts get paid and his or her will is carried out; doing it wrong, it can be a hopeless expensive mess. Do it right the first time.
