How do I claim my portion of my father's estate?

Dara J. Goldsmith
Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
From your recitation of the facts it is difficult to determine exactly what happened. In order to determine if you were effectively disinherited from your father's estate you should have his Will reviewed by and attorney. I am unsure if your mother is alive or deceased or if she survived your father. You do not mention if either parent had a probate estate opened, or if assets passed to the survivor outside of probate. These are all important issues, as you may be a creditor of one or both estates, but you would need to file a timely claim. If your mother survived and your father left the estate to her you may be a beneficiary of her estate and then his disinheritance in his Will may not impact you, but again it is difficult to say without reviewing he relevant documents and having a complete understanding of the facts.

Can someone with the power of attorney change someone else’s will after the will’s creator and beneficiary have died?

Loraine M. DiSalvo
Answered by attorney Loraine M. DiSalvo
Estate Planning lawyer at Morgan & DiSalvo, P.C.
Not legally. First of all, a power of attorney does not grant the agent the power to change the principal's Will (the principal is the person who granted the power of attorney, and the agent is the person to whom the power of attoney was granted). Second of all, a power of attorney dies with the principal, and is no longer valid after the principal dies.
