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

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A power of attorney is no longer valid once the person who signed the power has died.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.

Which is better to do, a living trust or a last will?

Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
You both should do your own living trust, if you each gave assets to put into the trust, as you are not married. If you were married, you could do a marital trust. Trust are more flexible than wills as to the future changes that occur in your life.

Can I change the locks of a home to a person who just died and has no will?

Answered by attorney Kimberly Demetrice French (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Kimberly D. Moss, PLLC
If you are not a blood relative of this person, and his family is now coming to assert ownership of his property and belongings, you cannot legally change the locks of his home. Even without a will, a person's belongings pass by a law known as intestate succession, so the relatives coming out of the woodwork have a legal claim to the residence as well as any other items of value he left behind. They can assert this claim by filing a small estate affidavit in the county where your friend died.
