Can I have financial claim on someone whom I took care and recently died?

Dara J. Goldsmith
Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
You may file a creditor's claim in his estate. The estate can then either accept or reject the claim. If rejected, you would need to initiate litigation to have your claim reviewed or file in the probate court for a determination if that is an available option.

What do I do if my mother has passed without signing over a power of attorney?

Estate Planning lawyer at The Law Office of Nathan Wagner
Powers of attorney are only effective while the person is alive. So even if you had a power of attorney from your mother, it would be worthless now that she has passed. It sounds like you actually want to be named executor or administrator of her estate. For that, you have to submit a petition to the probate court. A local probate attorney can help you do that (and they can help you figure out if being named executor is what you really need).

Which home from the will should be sold first?

Answered by attorney Darin Christensen (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Bullivant Houser Bailey PC
If your aunt is competent, have her decide and communicate that decision to someone other than the nephew or caretaker. There is no bright line test on which house to sell. I would do my best to have the decision made by someone other than the nephew and caretaker because of the conflict of interest they would have in making the decision.
