Can I ask power of attorney to show me documents of real estate?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
You have a number of issues going on, here. I am not sure what you are asking when you say "show me the documents of real estate." If you are asking about the deed, this is part of the public record, and you do not need anyone else to show you this. You can get your own copy from the register of deeds. The larger issue is that the agent under the POA has authority to sell the real estate, provided it is in your father's interest to do so. If it is in his interest that it be sold, then I am not sure what right you would have to stop a sale. You might be able to purchase the property yourself. Depending on the situation, there are likely other options, as well. You may need to consult with your own attorney to determine how best to proceed.

How can I keep a child off my property once I die?

Answered by attorney Jayne L. Sebby (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Jayne L. Sebby
Yes, you can prevent unauthorized access but only putting notice in your will probably won't achieve your goal because a will often isn't available or submitted to probate for weeks or months after your death. You're better off notifying friends and family members, and especially the person you name as your executor, of your wishes. Better yet, put it in writing and give the document to someone who will be close by at the time of your death. That person can secure the property immediately and request law enforcement assistance should the named person attempt to remove items.

What are the risks of being a beneficiary with a trustee you can't trust?

Answered by attorney Victor L. Waid (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
You are strongly advised to seek the assistance of a estate planning lawyer, for beneficiary representation, and planning your own estate. You are right to be concerned, as I would be. Do not delay, as you have valid concerns, and they may be more present then you realize or accelerated by future events over which you have no control.

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
