Can the executor close a bank account?

James Bloomfield Oberholtzer
Answered by attorney James Bloomfield Oberholtzer
Estate Planning lawyer at James Oberholtzer, Chartered
I am assuming that you are in Oregon and that Oregon law applies. Your question does not make sense as you have stated it. Death revokes all agency including powers of appointment. If the grantor of your power of appointment died, the power of appointment is no longer effective. If the person who died left a Will, you may be nominated as the personal representative in the Will. If so, you can probate the Will and be appointed the personal representative by the court or prepare a small estate affidavit if the estate is not composed of too much in assets and is simple enough.

How legal is a power of attorney signed after diagnosis of Alzheimer's?

David L. Leon
Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
A power of attorney can be signed during any period of lucidity. If a person has Alzheimer's, she may have good days (when she can sign legal docs) and bad days (where she would lack competency to sign.)

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

David L. Leon
Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
You can't get a power of attorney for a deceased person. Any powers of attorney executed beforehand would expire upon the death of the power grantor. If you want to control the deceased mother's estate, you would need to go through the probate process. The particular procedure is fact specific.
