It may be customary for marital partners to arrange their financial affairs for the care and support of each other upon death. A trust, however, being one of several tools by which to do so, may direct that none of its assets be awarded to a spouse and that, upon her death, all of its assets be divided among his children only with nothing going to her children.

Can I sue my father's girlfriend and my uncle for dividing my father's belongings without my knowledge?

James Brian Thomas
Answered by attorney James Brian Thomas (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Burdette & Rice, PLLC
If your father died without leaving a Will, his property would not pass to his girlfriend or to his brother. If either individual has taken items belonging to your father's estate, they could be found liable for the value of the property taken. If you believe that it would take legal action to correct the situation, you should understand that you would first need to establish your role as an heir of your father. Depending on the value of the property taken, and a whole lot of other factors, the cost of the process might just outweigh the value of the property that you're seeking.

Can I create a limited POA which allows me to sign medical record releases on behalf of someone?

Far better to simply have them sign a medical authorization allowing you to get the records. Getting a POA exposes you to liability and I doubt your business insurance would cover it. Plus, what you are talking about is really a health care POA.
