Do my boyfriend and I have to be legally married in order for him to name me as executor?

David L. Leon
Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
No, you do not need to be married for him to leave you something in a will or for you to be the executor. He can name anyone who is not a felon to be an executor.

What is the probate process after a parent's death?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Norman Harry Green (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Irsfeld, Irsfeld & Younger LLP
Hire a lawyer to file a petition for probate and assist with the estate administration. This should be in the state of his domicile (permanent residence). Additional probate administrations may be necessary in states where he owned real property. Did he leave a will? If so, it probably nominates an executor. If not, then his wife has priority to serve as administrator, but if she does not want to do so, or if she doesn't act within a month, then one of his children can file the petition.

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

David L. Leon
Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
You can't get a power of attorney for a deceased person. Any powers of attorney executed beforehand would expire upon the death of the power grantor. If you want to control the deceased mother's estate, you would need to go through the probate process. The particular procedure is fact specific.
