Do we have to wait for my brother to sell my mothers home before reading the will?

Lorenzo L. Angelino
Answered by attorney Lorenzo L. Angelino
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Lorenzo L. Angelino
Although every situation can be different, if your brother was only named power of attorney for your mother, this does not allow him to sell the home or any assets if there is a different directive in the your mother's Will, hence, the Will should be disclosed first. The timing can be affected if the home was already under contract to be sold and he is merely carrying out the terms of that contract in a timely manner.
