What are my rights as an Executor?

Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
There is a highly technical answer, which would require more information. The easier answer is, don't fall out with your sister over this. Negotiate. It shouldn't take much time to work through what needs to be distributed, and what will go to an estate sale. Work it out. The other alternative, and I see it all the time, is you and your sister can both lawyer up and spend a ton of money arguing over this issue. That doesn't honor your mom, it doesn't help you or the family.

Can a person have the power of attorney and be the executor of same person’s will?

Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
Absolutely. If your mom is legally competent she may make changes to her estate plan. There may be an issue of undue influence. If there are issues about your mother's capacity, you may want to consider filing tor guardianship. I suggest you meet with an attorney in the state where your mother resides to determine if filing for guardianship is an option.
