Which home from the will should be sold first?

Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
A very tough question, which can't really be answered on a website. The will does not "speak" until your aunt passes away. First question is, is your aunt still competent? If yes, it is her call which house gets sold. If no, and you are acting under power of attorney, it gets complicated; you need to respect her estate plan, but that will not be easy to do. In that case, you need a lawyer to work through this so you do not end up with liability to a nephew who loses out.

Can the executor close a bank account?

If the principle has passed away, your power of attorney is no longer in force. In order to deal with the decedent's bank accounts, you need to be appointed personal representative (executor is the old term) and present the bank with a death certificate and your Letters Testamentary (issued by the court).

How do I get my deceased parents' house transferred into my name?

You probably need to file a small estate affidavit for both of your parents in the counties where they died. If your mother and father died with less than $50,000.00 in assets (not including their homestead real estate), you may file a small estate affidavit to transfer their assets to your name. It's unclear if you have siblings, but if you do, each of you will own equal shares of the property left behind. I recommend you contact an estate planning attorney to advise you on the specifics of your case. Good luck.
