As her daughter, how do I take over her finances to ensure stability in her elder years?

Ezra N. Goldman
Answered by attorney Ezra N. Goldman

Making poor choices is not enough of a reason for you to control your mother's finances. If a doctor will testify that she is not competent to handle her affairs, you can petition the Court to have a Guardian appointed.

Do the descendants of the last living heir in a family of 11 siblings, have more legal rights to the property (land) than the other descendants?

Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
Your question is not clear. How is the property titled? If it was a tenancy in common, then the rights of the final descendants are the same as the prior heirs. If the property was held as joint tenants with rights of survivor ship, then the descendants of the last heir are the owners. Last person standing wins, in that kind of situation. If you have any other kind of scenario, you should have a lawyer review all the facts with you.

What can my father do to revoke the deed?

Answered by attorney Edward L. Armstrong (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Edward L. Armstrong, P.C.
If your father deeded the property to your brother by quitclaim deed (or any other type of deed) then he cannot revoke the deed (unless it was never recorded then he might be able to). If, he deeded the property to himself and your brother as joint tenants, he would have to have your brother's signature on any deed back to himself alone.
