does general power of attorney cease to exist when my mom dies? no will made?

Answer 1

If she owes money off her estate they can and will take what is owed. I, would have her make a will, everybody needs one! Good Luck

Answer 2

I am power of attorney over my dad's estate. It dies when my dad dies. However, I am also the executor of his estate in his will. My dad has a second person named in case the first one dies.
When there is no will, her debts come first. After that it should be divided equally; you might have to liquidate (sell everything and divide the money)
I hope your mom doesn't die. God bless you.

Answer 3

Yes, you need to be named "executor of the estate" in her will. ALso, it should be stated that Probate is not required unless your state mandates it. Probate is insurance in case the executor decides to take all the money and run. The people named in the will who didnt get their property will get their funds through the insurance but Probate is very expensive.

Answer 4

Yes it is null & void. Her spouse would be executor or one who could legally handle things & have right s to things such as medical records (thats my job). If she had no spouse it would then go to the oldest child, so on & so forth. (next of kin)

Answer 5

yes. it is only valid as long as the title owner is alive. How can u represent the one who is no more!
Law of succession prevails if she did not express her will through WILL.

Answer 6

Yes, that is for making decisions for her while she is still living. She should make a will for decisions after death if she is still able.

Answer 7

ask a solicitor

Answer 8

yes it does!
