Why won't they answer me or give me any updates on survivor updates?

Estate Planning lawyer at Neil J. Lehto
Since this matter arose in 2004, you ought to be concerned that any claim you may have for survivor's benefits could already have been lost due to a statute of limitations. You need to have your paperwork reviewed immediately by an attorney.

If the lawyer never put his name for payment from the estate, can he come after my personal account or hurt my credit?

Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
In Oregon, the lawyer who represents the personal representative has to apply to the probate court for approval of his fees, if he plans to be paid out of the estate. Some Oregon lawyers say it is okay to expect the personal representative to pay out of his pocket, but that probably should have been made clear up front. Look at the engagement letter that was presented at the beginning of the representation. Maybe suggest fee arbitration through the bar.

My father has passed but we have a lawsuit! That lawyer said we need a power of attorney?

Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
You do not say whether this was a lawsuit which was filed on behalf of your father before his death, in which case you should have done so under a Durable Power of Attorney; whether this is a wrongful death suit; or whether there is a dispute over his estate.  Without this information, it is hard to answer your implied question.
