What can we do if my aunt died and the funeral policy must be signed by her sister who is in a coma?

Tough situation. Is there a contingent or "secondary" beneficiary named? I wonder if the insurance company would give you a way out. Does the sister have a power of attorney form that would allow her husband to sign documents for her? More information is needed.

Can I represent my deceased mother? How?

Eric James Smith
Answered by attorney Eric James Smith (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Eric J. Smith
A will does not have any authority until it is approved by the court through some form of probate. Generally, gifts in Texas wills do split among the beneficiary's children if the the beneficiary predeceases the testator (writer of the will), but it is also possible to write the will in such a way that gifts to beneficiaries who predecease lapse and the children of that beneficiary get nothing. If you feel there is a good chance there is significant property being kept from you, hire a lawyer. That lawyer can file with the probate court requesting the court require your family to produce the will.

My friend wants to give up her life estate to her home. The property is in her grandsons name with her a lifetime estates. She can no longer live alon

Andrea L. Jakob
Answered by attorney Andrea L. Jakob
Estate Planning lawyer at Andrea L. Jakob, PA
Hello.  Thank you for reaching out with this question.  It sounds to me as if your friend has a "life estate" in a home and her grandsons are the remaindermen.  Possibly, from your question, she could be the remainder with her grandsons as the life estate tenant-- as you say it is in the grandson's name.  But that would defeat the purpose of a life estate interest, so I will assume it is the first possiblity.  As the owner of a Life Estate, if the property is in Florida, she may have a homestead interest in the property- providing more than just a break on her annual taxes, but providing her with certain rights against creditors and other rights she may not want to give up.  Furthermore, if she is unable to live alone- selling or gifting her rights to the property may result in the loss of certian benefits.  Finally, quite possibly, depending upon whether the property is held as a "Lady Bird Deed," or not, will depend upon whether the remainders must also sign the deed in order to make the title marketable to a final buyer.  An Elder Care attorney may be able to help her with the specificities of these concerns and lead her in the right direction.  Good luck!
