I am my moms executor and she recently passed away. I do not know where to start.

Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
If the house is not in your mother's name, it is already owned by you, one sister and the other sister's estate.  If there is more in the estate than the house, you will have to probate the Will to get it.  Contact a probate attorney who practices in the county in which your mother lived and died.

Would a Statutory Durable POA override a spouse?

William R. Pelger
Answered by attorney William R. Pelger
Estate Planning lawyer at Pelger Law
I think the POA overrides the prior spouse, even if the prior marriage is ruled valid. I do believe, at least in my state, PA, a married person can designate whoever he or she wants as agent in a POA notwithstanding blood or marriage. WHere blood or marriage come in is with the will, for inheritance. Make sure he has a will, so in the event the last wife would contest the estate and the prior marriage be ruled in her favor she wont get the bulk of the estate. See a local TX lawyer for more specific details regarding TX law.

Am I responsible for the bills that belonged to my deceased mother?

Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
If you were helping your mom with her finances, it is possible that your actions could make you liable. In general, though, you are not responsible for the debts of a parent.
