Can I find out about my father's will if I don't have a copy?

Answered by attorney Kathleen Delacy (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Reger Rizzo & Darnall, LLP
You can contact the probate court in the county he was domiciled to see if she filed the Will. If no Will, you should check the intestate statute where he lived. In Delaware under the intestate statute when a spouse and children that are not children of both spouses, the children are entitled to receive a portion.

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

Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
In light of the fact your mother is deceased, she no longer has the power to execute a power of attorney to anyone. Powers of attorney prepared during life, die when the maker of the power dies.

If my father planned for separation, does this factor into her claim?

Answered by attorney Ronald E Stutes (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at The Stutes Law Group LLC
Her claim may in fact be for her one-half of the community property. In Louisiana, each spouse owns one-half of the property acquired during the marriage through the efforts of either spouse. (Gifts and property owned by the marriage are not included.) Since she would be the owner of that one-half, it is not considered part of your father's estate. As far as your father's property is concerned, the will would control, to the extent it is not in conflict with state law.
