If the power of attorney expires when my father passed away, who is to sign the quick claim deed to transfer my father’s home ownership and title?

Christine James
Answered by attorney Christine James
Estate Planning lawyer at James Law Group
Generally speaking, depending upon how title is held, it will either be the surviving joint tenant or the property will have to go through the court process called probate.

Once a will has been made, can the other spouse change it?

Estate Planning lawyer at Jayne L. Sebby
Only the person who wrote the will can change it. Your mother could not change your father's will and your father could not change your mother's will. As your father passed away first, his wishes control who gets the property. Your father's estate should have been settled within a year after his death. And you should arrange to sell the house and divide the profits equally between the siblings as there is no way twelve people can agree on anything.

Does a seperated spouse have a right to a family inheritance?

Depends on whether the separated spouse is related by blood to the individual who has prepared a will or who has died intestate.. ie without a will if named as a beneficiary in a will ,then it would depend on the blood line.
