Answered by attorney James T Weiner (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at James T. Weiner, P.C.
A Durable power of attorney for health care ONLY grants the right to make health care decisions in the absence of the grantor.. it grants no other rights a DPOA HC expires when the grantor dies.. To get the bank assets in the absence of a trust someone must file a probate estate and be appointed Personal Representative of the estate.there are simplified procedures for small estates (<$20k or so).

Will I use And or And or if I want my name and my grandson’s on the title?

Answered by attorney Christine James
Estate Planning lawyer at James Law Group
It depends upon what you are trying to accomplish and I strongly suggest you meet with an attorney to discuss your wishes and options because adding someone to title can create issues later.

Will the creation of a new will nullify the existing will?

Christine James
Answered by attorney Christine James
Estate Planning lawyer at James Law Group
First of all wills in CA are not notarized. Second, $800 is high for a simple will. Your mother can create a new will, mention the facts of the old will in the new one, specifically revoke the old one in the new one, and leave the will in a safe deposit box or with the attorney who drafted it for safekeeping.
