How do we get a power of attorney and medical power of attorney for my mother?

David L. Leon
Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
Mother would have to execute some forms. If mother is competent, she can hire counsel. It's usually about $100-150. If mother is not competent, then you can't get them.

Do I have any right to stop my older brothers from depleting my fathers account money?

James Brian Thomas
Answered by attorney James Brian Thomas (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Burdette & Rice, PLLC
Yes, you have standing to do several things. First, consider discussing your concerns with your parents, as they are generally presumed to be able to make their own decisions, including the decision to revoke any authority that they gave to each other, or to your siblings. Second, you might discuss these issues with an attorney that practices in guardianship and/or conservatorship, which could bring your concerns to the attention of a Court that is able to stem any wrongdoing and correct any past malfeasance. Third, you might consider contacting Adult Protective Services, or a similar local agency that encounters issues of elder abuse and financial exploitation on a daily basis.

What are my rights as the heir to my grandfather's estate?

Answered by attorney Isaac David Shutt (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Shutt Law Firm, PLLC
First, I would make certain that a will has not been probated or that an estate has not been opened. Generally, the county clerk can tell you if a will has been probated. After the county clerk confirms nothing has been done to settle either of the estates, I suggest you contact an attorney. You will basically need the help of an attorney to open back-to-back estate administrations for your father and grandfather. Note that this could be fairly expensive to do. Although the estate generally pays for the cost of administration (court costs, attorney fees, etc.), this could be a challenge if you don't have possession of any of the estate property.
