We have been living in heir property for 3 years during probate proceedings. We were called by a third party and said we have to move within 2 weeks.

Robert W. Hughes
Answered by attorney Robert W. Hughes (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Robert W. Hughes & Associates, P.C.
Not knowing who the third party is makes answering your question difficult.  It could be that the third party is the administrator of the estate.  If so, he has a right to bring an eviction proceeding. If it is the administrator of the estate, he is not a third party.  He actually is the only person with authority to deal with the property. Presumably you have been paying rent to someone during the time that you have lived in the property? In any eviction proceeding, the party bringing the claim will have to prove that he has the legal right to dispossess you.

Will has been change by POA what can we do

Answered by attorney Loraine M. DiSalvo
Estate Planning lawyer at Morgan & DiSalvo, P.C.
If I understand your post correctly, you are claiming that your mother, who is still alive, gave power of attorney to one of your sisters and that sister sold assets that were supposed to have been distributed to certain people under your mother's Will. If I'm understanding that correctly, then your statement that the power of attorney agent changed your mother's Will appears to be incorrect. Selling an asset that is the subject of a bequest in a living person's Will may be perfectly appropriate if the funds are needed for the person's care during her lifetime, and should not normally be viewed as a change in the person's Will. However, other aspects of your post appear to allege that your sisters are stealing from your mother. If that is the case, you may want to consult an elder law attorney who works with guardianship and conservatorship, especially contested ones. The attorney may be able to help you determine if your mother is being subjected to financial abuse, and if so, what options to protect her you may have.

How can I obtain a power of attorney from my father who has dementia?

Sorry, but the person giving the power of attorney must be competent to do so. You might catch him a one of the 10% periods, but I tend to doubt it.
