Do we have any legal recourse if my husband's sister has power of attorney?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Victor L. Waid (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
06-18-12 Answer to Question # 1: Your husband's mother gave the power of attorney to his sister not to the brother, and had no duty to include him or anyone else in the power of attorney, even though she could have. The sister who holds the power of attorney has no duty to share any information with her brother, and in fact may be in violation of a provision of the power of attorney if she did share such financial/asset information with her brother. What facts do you have your husband's sister may be squandering/wasting his mother's estate? Mere suspicion is not enough and the fact the sister will not share any of the financial information as said information applies to the mother, does not give rise to suspicion. You should consult with an attorney who does probate/conservator litigation, to potentially file a petition for an accounting by the sister, particularly if the mother is subject to a conservatorship/guardianship; if not subject to a conservatorship/guardianship, consider having an attorney file a petition for conservatorship of the person and estate of the mother, under which the attorney could then subpoena documents re financial/asset information.

Can a daughter legally take her my sister off the policy considering it was 9 days before her husband died when the change was made?

Answered by attorney Victor L. Waid (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
Looks like litigation here we come. You need to obtain probate litigation counsel to make a claim for the policy proceeds right away before the insurance company pays out the proceeds to the daughter; sounds like daughter committed a fraud upon the insurance company and you by her conduct of changing the beneficiary designation to her solely.. The insurance company will interplead the funds into court and make the claimants prove to the court as to who is entitled to the insurance proceeds. Start a probate proceeding immediately in the court of the county of the death of the person. This is urgent. Don't delay on making the claim by certified mail with return receipt requested.
