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

David L. Leon
Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
You can't get a power of attorney for a deceased person. Any powers of attorney executed beforehand would expire upon the death of the power grantor. If you want to control the deceased mother's estate, you would need to go through the probate process. The particular procedure is fact specific.

Can my husband put his name on the deed of his brother's condo if he has a POA over his assets?

Estate Planning lawyer at Peters Law, PLLC
He could, but it would be awfully suspicious and may be a breach of his fiduciary duty to his brother.

WHAT IS THE PROCESS AND COST TO OBTAIN A SMALL ESTATE AFFIDAVIT?

Terry Lynn Garrett
Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
It sounds as though you need to take the Will to a local probate attorney and present it for probate.  A Small Estate Affidavit can only be used if there is no Will and if the person left no more than a home, personal possessions worth no more than $60,000 and other assets (such as bank accounts) worth no more than $75,000.  Some courts require that the heirs be the surviving spouse or minor children.
