Powers of attorney are only effective during the person's lifetime. You will need to petition the probate court to name you the executor or personal representative of your mother's estate.

Probably not, unless he left a Will that names you as a beneficiary. You should consult with an attorney to address your specific issues as your question is very generic.

Does the family inure the debt the father made without their knowledge once he dies?

Answered by attorney Jayne L. Sebby (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Jayne L. Sebby
Whether your mother, yourself, or your siblings become liable for the debt depends on a number of factors. Did your father accrue this debt in his name alone? Is the debt part of a business that your family operates or is part of? Is the debt due to a gambling problem or some other problem? Does it have some connection with his illness? Did he secure the debt with property he jointly owned with any of you? In a normal situation, the estate alone is responsible for the decendant's debts. However, in some situations, others may also be held responsible. Check with an estate attorney for specific answers.
