Am I entitled to any part of his estate and if so, what would I have to do?

Estate Planning lawyer at James Oberholtzer, Chartered
Check the court file and see if you are named in the Will. If he did not mention you, you may have a legal claim for a share of his estate.

Is it legal with a durable power of attorney to quick claim deed property to myself?

Dara J. Goldsmith
Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
Maybe, but probably not. You are a fiduciary to him as his P of A. Thus you cannot personally benefit. It is possible that it is okay, I.e., you have no siblings, are his only child, and only heir. He is not married and you are named on his will as the sole beneficiary. If those are NOT the facts, then you are violating your fiduciary duty and can be liable for more than just the house. Seek out legal counsel! There may be other options!

Will the creation of a new will nullify the existing will?

Yes, you can execute a new will that will void the previous will. $800 seems high to execute a new will, unless it was also for other work or documents as well. I charge significantly less for a will and it also includes other estate planning documents such a powers of attorney and living will. That also includes the witnesses and notary.
