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

Vincent A. Liberti
Answered by attorney Vincent A. Liberti (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Halloran & Sage LLP
Only an original, properly executed (signed) Will is admissible in Probate Court. And, the Will must be signed according to statutory requirements of the state in which it is being signed - the person signing the Will (testator/testatrix) must sign the Will in front of two independent witnesses and a notary, etc. etc. If not, any proposed, "Will" is invalid and non-admissible.

If the wife doesn't apply for administrator after the death of her spouse, can one of their children apply?

Christine James
Answered by attorney Christine James
Estate Planning lawyer at James Law Group
Yes but if the wife decides to hire a lawyer and file a petition that competes with the child's petition, the wife will get the administration as she has priority.

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

Estate Planning lawyer at Bullivant Houser Bailey PC
No. The power of attorney ceases to have legal effect on your mother's death. He has no legal authority to do anything using the power of attorney. You should proceed to have the will probated and the personal representative (executor) can sell the home.
