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.

If it is the last will of the deceased, you can submit it to the probate court and get Letters of Appointment that will give you authority to settle the estate.

Does my brother-in-law have any ownership rights if I now own the property where he built a storage?

Answered by attorney Jayne L. Sebby (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Jayne L. Sebby
If the building is permanently attached to the property, then it is part and parcel of the property. If it movable, then he may still have some claim to it if he has been using it all these years or you have been paying him for the use of it.
