In NJ can an executor grant a durable power of attorney to his sibling to assist in handling the estate matters?

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
Yes !  the banks may have an issue with this - but be insistent.  I do it all the time for my clients.  as the Executor you will still need to sign tax returns, contracts, etc. but the more administrative tasks, such as going to the bank, can be done by someone else via your POA.  The bank will most likely not let you pull all of the money out of the account until you either pay estate/inheritance taxes, or prove no taxes are due by obtaining a waiver.

My mother and father own a house and a small commercial property. My mother passed away in 2012. Should I have filed probate paperwork on my mom?

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
When your mother passed away, if she and your dad owned the properties jointly, then it all passes to your mother immediately.  After you have probated your father's estate, and you want to either sell the properties or change the deeds you will only need to show your mother's death certificate to prove that  they were married, and title passed to your dad on your mother's death.

My partner died of cancer and a check from her disability insurance came payable to estate. there is no will or administrator.

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
The first question to ask is whether or not she was entitled to this check from disability.  By this I mean, was she receiving monthly payments and this is another monthly payment?  And you are sure that disability is not going to say "Sorry - the check was sent in error before we knew she passed - pay it back?"  Becuase that happens sometimes.  Social Security and pension checks often arrived after the person has passed, and then are cashed or deposited, but then need to be paid back.  If the check you are talking about is not a monthly check, but is instead sometype of death benefit, then you will need to become the administrator of her estate.  Go to the surrogate's office of the county in which you live. The clerks there will be able to help you.  If you are in Monmouth or Ocean Counties and need further assistance, please feel free to call.
