My sister has power of attorney for my parents. What happens if something happens to her? Can all 3 sisters have power of attorney?

Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
It is up to your parents to decide to whom they grant a Durable Power of Attorney and to name successor agents if the person they name is unable or unwilling to act.  While some lawyers require that an agent under a Durable Power of Attorney provide an accounting to the siblings or others to prevent suspicion, others think it will lead to discord as those who are not the agent may go over it with a fine tooth comb and question the agent's decisions.  Some lawyers advise have co-agents (two, not three) for major decisions such as liquidating investments or selling the house, with the co-agents to act together.  Appointing three co-agents increases the chance of disagreement and failure to act timely if they must act together and of "the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing" if they do not.  It is generally not recommended for the day to day responsibilities which you describe.

Can the executor change the locks of a house if it was not written in the will?

Answered by attorney Norman Harry Green (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Irsfeld, Irsfeld & Younger LLP
Your bro-in-law is not executor until appointed by a court. By now he should have filed a petition for probate and you should have gotten notice. Fr died in June. It is his job to marshal the assets. What reason do you have for entrance into the house, other than to take things? If you have a valid reason, then explain it and arrange to go there for the legitimate purposes.

Can you use items in an estate without permission that do not belong to you?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Irwin G. Klein (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Hein, Waters and Klein
No. An Executor is a Fiduciary and owes a duty to the Court and the beneficiaries of the estate. The assets are not the executors to use.
