No, generally, an agent under a POA cannot make changes to testamentary instruments (wills). Once the testator has died the POA is extinguished and the named executor must be appointed by the court. Besides the testator, while living, only a judge can make changes to a testator's will.

No. The power of attorney is automatically extinguished upon the death of the principal. Therefore, the attorney in fact under it has absolutely no authority over the decedent's estate.

Can you have two executors?

Yes. You may name co-executors in your will. However, if you do so you should make certain that the two get along well and that your instructions in the will are very clear. You might consider naming an arbitrator, your attorney perhaps, if the two have a disagreement they cannot resolve.


Can one sibling be selected to be executor of the estate even though all 5 children have been assigned as executors of the estate?

* Generally there are only one or two Executors to a Will. Executor (male) or Executrix (female.) It is odd there should be five Executors. An Executor/Executrix has the right to decline to handle the wishes of the said Will and this is the reason for basically having a back up Executor or Executrix. The group of siblings should get together and decide who will be handling the Will as Executor or Executrix. If one is chosen then they should get a fee for their trouble which is anywhere from one to four percent of the entire Estate (property, monies, etc.) and that will be up to the other siblings unless otherwise stipulated in the Will.

Can you reverse the termination of parental rights in Nevada?

YES, you can reverse your decision if it is a voluntary termination of parental rights (as in, you chose to terminate your own rights), IF AND ONLY IF, there has been no court hearing in which that decision was finalized. There is a limbo period of time in which the termination is not "official." This is a usually a few months, but can be shorter or longer, depending on the other party's counsel and the courts. You need to act quickly! Notify the attorney in writing and also verbally that you revoke your decision to terminate your parental rights. Hire an attorney to do this, so that your attorney can verify that your revocation was received by the opposing party. If your parental rights have been terminated by an opposing party due to negative evidence against you (this is called an involunatary termination, a whole different ballgame), you can still try an appeal. There are a few grounds in which you can have the decision reversed. As always, getting a good attorney and having all your information and evidence in order is a must.
