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

Answered by attorney Christine Sabio Socrates (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Christine Sabio Socrates Attorney at Law
Even if your mother had signed a power of attorney before she died, it became invalid the moment she passed away. A power of attorney ends at death. At this point, you would need to be appointed executor (if she had a will) or administrator (if she did not have a will) in order to take care of her estate.

How do turn over our share of land to our brother?

Estate Planning lawyer at Peters Law, PLLC
If there is a probate estate, you can probably give up your interest in the land in the estate. Alternatively, you could sign a quit-claim deed to your brother.

What is the probate process after a parent's death?

Christine James
Answered by attorney Christine James
Estate Planning lawyer at James Law Group
You need to call a probate lawyer to discuss the situation. Nothing is automatic, someone has to take steps to probate a deceased person's estate. If he had a surviving spouse, she would have priority and likely be his heir unless their is a will or the marriage was not long term. The state and county where your father owned property is where the probate would be initiated. If he owned no real property, the state where he died would be the proper place.
