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

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Charles Richard Perry (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Charles R. Perry
A power of attorney is no longer valid once the person who signed the power has died. Even if your mother had signed a power of attorney, then, it would not help you now. It's not possible to tell you what to do now, without receiving more information. You may have to probate your mother's estate, or there may be a way around probate. The question depends mostly on the size of your mother's estate. You can do some reading on the subject of probate, you can talk to a lawyer who handles probate matters, or both.

Lien on the title of my house from 2009 on a paid bill from Backenridge Hospital. Third party agency is now dissolved. How do I remove the lien?

Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
Although the third party is now dissolved, the debt was not owed to that party but to Brackenridge.  If you have or can get evidence that Victim's Services paid all the bills, show that to Brackenridge and ask them to remove the lien.

Hello im trying to open an account an deposit my deceased sons check im the representative for his estate its less than6,000 do i have to settle in pr

Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
If that is all your son left, you may not need to go to court but you will need to file a Small Estate Affidavit, wait for the judge's signature and find a bank which will accept it.  In any event, we have had independent administrations in Texas since 1843.  Probate here is neither as expensive nor as time consuming as you may imagine.
