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

David L. Leon
Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
You can't get a power of attorney for a deceased person. Any powers of attorney executed beforehand would expire upon the death of the power grantor. If you want to control the deceased mother's estate, you would need to go through the probate process. The particular procedure is fact specific.

Which is better to do, a living trust or a last will?

Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
It depends on what you want to accomplish and the complexity of your estate. For most couples, a will does the trick. If you have a more complicated estate, or you have issues of capacity, a trust may be preferable.
