The executor of her estate will have the power after she dies, as far as I know.  But I am honestly not totally certain.  Good luck!

I don't believe that they can take this money, but I would ask the attorney that is handling your bankruptcy, he will know the answer to this.

I am not sure what you mean exactly, if you filed in court for power of attorney it is not revoked until the person revokes it. A child is always under the delegation of the parent and does  need a power of attorney unless there are special fiancial matters or something that requires it.

Have the daughter file for Power of Attorney.  Then she should have no problems dealing with her mother's affairs.

To be honest, it would be better for all of you if you could work something out with your sister because the present interest holder (meaning your mom) in a reversionary life estate cannot do anything that would dimish the value of the property and she also has a duty to maintain the property.  If it has been vacant for an extended period, anything could have happened over there.  \n\nYour sister may have also included a right of termination in the life estate or reserved some sort of right of entry if for instance your mom had to go into a nursing home.  There are all kinds of unknowns here both in how your sister set this up and the law in your state. \n\nLong story short, you may not be able to stop her.  \n\nWhy don't you just go with her or simply remove anything from the house that your mom does not want your sister to have access to?  It would seem to be the most painless compromise for all involved.

A power of attorney may be granted to anyone of age (not necessarily a lawyer) and would normally be in written form signed by the individual granting the power of attorney and may be required to be witnessed (or notorized) by a disinterested person.  you probably did not grant a power of attorney unless you signed documents without reading or understanding them.  A power of attorney may be very general (as to help an invalid pay bills) or very specific (to sell a particular car) and may be open ended or have a certain expiration date.  You may revoke a power of attorney at any time by providing the "attorney" with written notice and sending a copy to anyone who may need to know.\n\nI once bought a car from a man who had a written power of attorney from his invalid mother who had title to the car.  The family lawyer still had his power of attorney document in their office.  The vehicle registry would not accept it to transfer title to me until it was registered with the city which placed a copy on file and placed their seal on the document to show the registry.\n\nIf the matter is potentially important, consult with a lawyer to protect your rights.  Good luck.

The trust fund may have contained the entire estate with nothing left for the will.  A probate for your mother should have been opened and thw will submitted for probate even if no assets left for will to dispose of.  If this is the case the probate record is open as a public record at the court house where your mothers estate would have been probated.  Surely you have a copy of the trust agreement?  This should give you the right to audit the trust accounts if you are a beneficiary.  See a lawyer in the county where your mom lived or died won't cost that much to clarify everything for you.  Remember trusts hold the assets for you after death and OUTSIDE of any will.  The will can only take care of those things that are not in the trust.

Really, you need a lawyer to help out with this situation. You need to file suit to get power of attorney for your parent, unless she had some sort of will that named one. The site below will help you find (low cost) legal aid.

I'm in Australia.  As far as I'm aware the estate of the deceased person is required to pay the outstanding debts.  So your mother, as beneficiary, is required to pay the debts out of the money that was left to her, rather than out of her own money.  If there is insufficient money in the estate, then it will not be necessary for her to make up the shortfall.

Power of attorney is not what you need. You need to have the court appoint a guardian/conservator over the parent. As she is married, the court will want to know why the husband should not be presumed to be acting in his spouse's best interests, and it will be up to you to prove that he is attempting to steal her assets. In short, your burden is to demonstrate that the marriage is a fraud and that will be VERY difficult unless you can get the husband to admit it to you in front of a disinterested witness, like a police officer or some neighbor who has no stake in the outcome of the proceedings.\n\nOr, if you could get it on tape when the husband knew he was being recordeded, that would work. But, otherwise, you will probably have a very difficult time proving your case.\n\nWithout specific facts, it's impossible to accurately analyze your circumstances. You will need to retain a local attorney experienced in probate and elder law, and you should do so quickly, because you will need a restraining order and a "lis pendens" filed at the county clerk where the home's title is filed, to prevent any sale from occuring.\n\nOne thing that you have on your side, is that if you can show the court that your mother is incompetent to sign a sales contract, then the court may stop any sale of the home, until it is satisfied that the deal is appropriate.\n\nSo, act fast before someone actually puts money down, because once they do, they become what's known as a bona fide purchaser, and their interest in the home will be greater than yours or your mother's. You don't want to be fighting with a third party over the house -- it's enough that you'll be fighting with your father in law.

You do need a power of attorney, but you should also present the power of attorney to the banks ahead of time and have the family member sign a signiture card with that bank.  It saves a lot of time and effort later.

Your Wife, Husband, Parent, or the one thought to be the next of kin, will need to go and get a Guardianship, from a Judge, if the one you speak of is unable to give you the proper Power of Attorney needed.\n\nCarson:

I will try to help you answer this question as best I can but before I do, I want to assert that I am in no way a legal professional such as a lawyer and that my answer is for general information purposes only.\nNow, as far as I understand it, a person who holds power of attorney for another is a person who has been granted the power to make legal decisions on behalf of that person - examples would be where a parent may request another family member to be responsible for making decisions on a legal level should they become unable due to incapacitating illness or in the event of their death.  Other more common examples would include businesses where partners in a business would grant certain powers of attorney to other individuals in their absence.\nAs for a truest, do you mean trust?  If so, a trust is like a bank account with restrictions on when the named beneficiary of the trust is excluded from drawing on the funds in that trust until they reach a certain age or they meet some other form of predetermined obligation, for example, the beneficiary may be required to graduate from University with a degree before they can access the funds, etc.  I hope this helps.

If your mother had substantial assets, contact the lawyer who wrote her will.

It all depends on if your mother had a will or not? If she did, is your brother the executor to the estate? was the money left in trust to you? Was your brother given power of attorny?\n You would be better off to ask an attorny, then to ask questions on yahoo reguarding these matters, and you ask the question like we all have crystal balls...I SEE A MAN... HE IS TRYING TO STEAL FROM YOUR MOTHERS ESTATE.. I mean come on, How are we supposed to know. Like I said "Seek the advice of an attorny"

Unless you mom has given you legal power of attorney, you can not legally sign her name.  You can have her make an X if she can no longer sign and witness her mark.\n\nIf you need to, it is easy to get appointed power of attorney to sign for her.

Speak with an Attorney about this. Sometime some company don't have to abide by the POA, or they choice not too. \nGet an attorney involved, and I'm sure things will flows after that.  I do hope you are sending the company the copy of your POA, not the original!\n\nI think the company concern are who will be the person paying for all this credit card charges. Just to let you know, being given the condition of using her card, you are liable for all these charges.  Even though, your mom's name is on the card.  The company will be going after you for this.  I do hope you are aware of this.
