How do I get power of attorney for my parents?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
They should see a lawyer. Estate planning should be done carefully by a person knowledgeable about the issues. An experienced lawyer can make the process easy and it is not necessarily expensive. In order to keep cost down, be prepared with information about your parents' assets who is in the family and should inherit something, and whether any specific gifts should be included (such as a Tiffany lamp to niece who collects them).

Are the remaining payable on death funds in a deceased members banking account considered inheritance?

Loraine M. DiSalvo
Answered by attorney Loraine M. DiSalvo
Estate Planning lawyer at Morgan & DiSalvo, P.C.
Assets held in an account that is subject to a payable on death (POD) beneficiary designation do not become part of the decedent's probate estate. Instead, they are paid directly to the beneficiary. However, with POD or transfer on death (TOD) designation, if the decedent's estate turns out to be insolvent, the creditors could legally come looking to the POD/TOD beneficiary for payment of the decedent's debts. So, there is some risk of a creditor claim, although it's likely to be small, and the probate estate assets should be used before any creditor comes after POD or TOD beneficiaries. (Note: some assets payable under beneficiary designations that are NOT POD or TOD designations, such as beneficiary designations on IRAs or other retirement plans and life insurance, have more protection against creditor claims than POD/TOD accounts do.) Georgia has no estate or inheritance taxes, so assets received from a Georgia decedent normally will not be subject to any such taxes unless the decedent's estate was large enough to generate a federal estate tax. If you have actual questions about a real situation, however, please don't rely on this kind of forum. Get an actual consultation from an attorney. That's the only way that anyone will be able to get enough information about your actual situation to give you legal advice. Best wishes to you.
