If the power of attorney expires when my father passed away, who is to sign the quick claim deed to transfer my father’s home ownership and title?

Answered by attorney Kenneth R Gold (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Gold & Associates PC
You may need a quit claim or warranty deed. But how it is transferred depends how the property was held. If just in his name it will have to go through probate.

Is filing with probate mandatory?

Sabina Tomshinsky
Answered by attorney Sabina Tomshinsky
Estate Planning lawyer at Home Town Law, P.A.
The custodian must deposit the will within 10 days after receiving information that the testator is dead with the Clerk of the Court where the testator died (in this case the Clerk of Palm Beach County). If the custodian fails to do so, an interested person may file a petition to compel the custodian to produce and deposit the will. A probate attorney should be able to determine if probate is necessary after an in-depth evaluation of all the pertinent factors. There are a lot of different variables to consider when determining whether probate is necessary, and if so, which proceeding must be commenced. Good luck!

Will I be responsible for his debts when he passes away?

Brian Chew
Answered by attorney Brian Chew
Estate Planning lawyer at OC Wills and Trust Attorneys
No one is responsible for anyone else debts when someone dies. However any assets in which the person who died own is subject to claims by any creditors to the estate. The fact that someone is charge of an asset (ie an executor of an estate) does not make them the owner of the assets of the estate and thus not subject to the executor's creditors.
