What do we do as their children to claim some type of ownership to this property?

Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
You are advised to obtain a probate litigation lawyer who can file a petition to partition the property to have the property sold and the proceeds divided according to your inheritance interest. This type of action can be filed in a probate court or as a civil law suit in the civil court. A probate court is recommended.

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

Terry Lynn Garrett
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.

Seek counsel form another lawyer. That lawyer will need to review the Will and probate papers. Then you decide.
