If the surviving spouse left a will would that be valid for both estates?

Estate Planning lawyer at The Law Office of Nathan Wagner
His will is only valid for his estate. It would not affect how your mother's assets are distributed (but it might affect whether an asset belonged to her, and thus affect what passes through her estate).

Can the property be left to his surviving children?

Answered by attorney Douglas A Tull (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Douglas A. Tull, P.C. Attorney at Law

Can I be my stepfather's secondary power of attorney being the only biological child of my mother?

Answered by attorney Bernard H. Greenberg
Estate Planning lawyer at Kokish & Goldmanis, P.C.
It may help to understand how Powers of Attorney work. If your Mom elects to have one, she names who she wants to be her agents. If your step-father wants a Power of Attorney, he names who he wants to be his agents. Your step-father may NOT name agents for your Mother, only for himself. Does that help?
