If that is all your son left, you may not need to go to court but you will need to file a Small Estate Affidavit, wait for the judge's signature and find a bank which will accept it.  In any event, we have had independent administrations in Texas since 1843.  Probate here is neither as expensive nor as time consuming as you may imagine.

When someone says they have Power Of Attorney, should they have a document with the signature of the person they are making the decision for?

Eric James Smith
Answered by attorney Eric James Smith (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Eric J. Smith
A power of attorney is a delegation or sharing of rights by a living person and is invalid after the death of the principle. An agent acting under power of attorney should have the document, though in Texas a copy of the document has the same force and effect as the original. Also in Texas, a medical power of attorney and a statutory durable power of attorney are generally 2 separate documents governing medical and financial matters, respectively. The statutory form for power of attorney in Texas requires the principle sign before a notary.

Is it customary that beneficiary decendancy go to direct heirs, by bloodline, of a trust when an heir dies?

Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
A trust may provide that assets go to whomever the trustor intends, be it a spouse, charity, next of kin or an unrelated third person or entity. The only thing customary is that the trustor decides who is to receive his or her trust assets.
