Can I represent my deceased mother? How?

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.

You are an adult, so you could be named as your mother's agent under a POA, but only if she is willing to give it to you and has the capacity to do so. Since she has already given POA to your step-father, if she is not willing/able to give you POA, then your only other alternative would be seeking guardianship through the probate court.

This is apparently not a Michigan matter. You should repost in the state involved. In Michigan, any estate in excess of $21k has to go through some form of probate. We also do not use Deeds of Trust
