If there are 3 heirs and 1 had a power of attorney and dies, what happens to distribution?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
It may not happen at all. It depends on a number of factors not mentioned in your summary. If your brother was alive when your grandfather died, then his share "vested" and it would pass through HIS estate. Whether or not you would be entitled to inherit would depend on who your brother's heirs are, and/or whether he left an estate plan. The person in charge of your grandfather's estate will need to determine the answers to these questions before distributing your brother's share.

Do I have to comply with an attorney request?

Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
Your brothers are not entitled to the money, under these facts. If you do not respond, however, they may file a lawsuit against you and that would be more expensive to defend than to try to head this off, now. You may want to consider having an attorney respond to the letter for you. That will show that you are serious and may discourage your brother(s) from pursuing any action.

Am I entitled to anything other than my father's car if he did not have a will?

Answered by attorney Richard Keyes (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Probate Law Center Richard J. Keyes, PC
In Missouri, since your father was married at the time of his death and his spouse was not the mother of his children, the spouse gets 50% of the estate and the children receive the other 50%. See an attorney about probating the house. If the car is in his name only, the car will also have to go through probate.
