Would judges follow a signed will over one that was not?

They would uphold signed will assuming there were not other issues such as signed under duress, signed without legal capacity, etc.

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.

What kind of lawyer specializes with estates and estate distribution?

Terry Lynn Garrett
Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
If you are an heir or beneficiary, the probate lawyer has no obligation or right to share information with you.  You can see a copy of everything filed with the court by contacting the clerk of the probate court.  Many counties have these documents on line.  Please keep in mind that estates often are not distributed for over a year to allow for payment of the final federal income taxes and any other creditors.
