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

Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
Power of attorney dies with the principal. There is no point in being named power of attorney for a decedent. It is the personal representative of the estate who controls all the assets (if your mother had no will, then the administrator of the estate).

How to get out of a will?

David L. Leon
Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
Typically, the government will sue "in rem" which means that they will only go after your interest in the house, and not after you personally. You can also sue to force the sale of the house and get your 1/4 value out of it.

What can happen if my sister does not inform me of my mothers passing

Terry Lynn Garrett
Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
Your sister has no legal obligation to inform you of anything.  If there was no Will and you were an heir under Texas law, the attorney of the person applying to probate the estate would have sent you a Distributee's Agreement.  If there was a Will and you were a named beneficiary, the attorney for the person whom the Will appointed and the Court named as executor of the Will and estate would have sent you a Notice to Beneficiary after the Court admitted the Will to probate.  Based on your description, it appears that there was a Will and that you were not named as a beneficiary.
