What is the probate process after a parent's death?

Answered by attorney James T Weiner (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at James T. Weiner, P.C.
To put it simply Someone, usually the primary heir, hires an attorney and files a probate action in the county where the deceased last resided. Then all beneficiaries are notified and the court appoints a personal representative After that all assets are gathered, debts paid and the rest distributed At times if real property is in multiple states multiple probates may be needed (one in each state where there is property) SO It does not happen automatically. Probate and attorneys can get expensive so the question is are there sufficient assets to worry about.. I advise you to gather all the information you can about your fathers assets and contact an attorney to discuss if it is worthwhile to file a probate action if your apparent step mom does not.

Would having a possible credit card judgment pending affect her chances of getting the reverse mortgage?

I would suspect that your mother will be asked to pay off the credit card judgment as part of the conditions for the reverse mortgage. She should speak with an attorney.

What do I do if my mother has passed without signing over a power of attorney?

You can't get a power of attorney for a deceased person. Any powers of attorney executed beforehand would expire upon the death of the power grantor. If you want to control the deceased mother's estate, you would need to go through the probate process. The particular procedure is fact specific.
