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

Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
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.

Does the family inure the debt the father made without their knowledge once he dies?

Answered by attorney Roman Aminov
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Roman Aminov
The family members do not owe the debt personally, but the proceeds from his estate may be used to pay the debt. The answer depends on the nature of the death benefits his estate or family members are owed.
