Answered by attorney Geoffrey N Germane (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Kirton & McConkie A Professional Corporation
No, the children are not generally responsible for the debts of a deceased parent. If the child was a co-debtor, the child may have his or her own liability.

Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
A trust may provide that assets go to whomever the trustor intends, be it a spouse, charity, next of kin or an unrelated third person or entity. The only thing customary is that the trustor decides who is to receive his or her trust assets.

Would a Statutory Durable POA override a spouse?

William R. Pelger
Answered by attorney William R. Pelger
Estate Planning lawyer at Pelger Law
I think the POA overrides the prior spouse, even if the prior marriage is ruled valid. I do believe, at least in my state, PA, a married person can designate whoever he or she wants as agent in a POA notwithstanding blood or marriage. WHere blood or marriage come in is with the will, for inheritance. Make sure he has a will, so in the event the last wife would contest the estate and the prior marriage be ruled in her favor she wont get the bulk of the estate. See a local TX lawyer for more specific details regarding TX law.
