Will the estate go to my mother or to the power of attorney?

Brian Chew
Answered by attorney Brian Chew
Estate Planning lawyer at OC Wills and Trust Attorneys
Your father's power of attorney is not relevant once he passes. The terms of his trust and/or will dictates who is in charge of the assets and who will receive them.

Estate Planning lawyer at Peters Law, PLLC
