My father passed away. I am the only living relative my mother has. If she became incapacitated - would I need a Power of Attorney?

Christopher Kennedy Caswell
Answered by attorney Christopher Kennedy Caswell (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Christopher K. Caswell, P.A.
Yes, that is one way that you can be enabled to deal with her financial affairs. Another way is for your mother to enter into a fully funded revocable living trust naming you as successor trustee. For many reasons this is a better way of dealing with incapacity, although most people probably use the durable power of attorney. Having said that, if your mother grants you that power, make sure that it is the new version of the durable power of attorney, as the statute in Florida was significantly changed in October of 2011. This is specific to Florida law and does not constitute legal advice as the facts presented are anonymous and incomplete. This is intended for general education only and does not create an attorney-client relationship. This should not be relied on and you must seek your own attorney client relationship.

Do we have to hire an attorney if the beneficiary of an estate does not follow the will?

Brian Chew
Answered by attorney Brian Chew
Estate Planning lawyer at OC Wills and Trust Attorneys
A beneficiary designation to specific person overrides the will, the trust and any probate proceedings unless someone can prove in court that the designation was made by your father as a result of undue influence or lack of capacity when he made the beneficiary designation.
