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

Estate Planning lawyer at Peters Law, PLLC
Now that she is deceased, the power of attorney is no longer effective. You need to open a probate estate for her and ask to be appointed the personal representative.

The duties are set forth in Rhode Island statute and case law. You have been invested with great authority by the court and need to have counsel guiding you.

Estate Probation

Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
After the court appoints an administrator (you, if you applied), the administrator can distribute separate personal property to the children according to the Texas rules of inheritance.  If you are the applicant, you might also want to talk to your attorney about setting aside the home and up to $60,000 in personal property for the widow (you) and about the fact that property purchased during the marriage is assumed to be community property unless proven otherwise.  These days a lot of folks feel entitled to "their" money and stuff before the body is cold.  But no one has authority to distribute anything until a court appoints them executor of a Will or administrator of an estate or signs an Order Approving Small Estate Affidavit.
