Can an executor hide information from a sibling?
Generally, the status of a person as a "sibling" is not relevant. What is relevant is whether that sibling is or is not a beneficiary under the will. An executor has an obligation to give information to the beneficiaries of the estate as named in the will, not to all the decedent's relatives. If a sibling (whether it is a sibling of the decedent or of the executor) has no interest in the estate, he/she has no rights to information about the estate. In some jurisdictions, an executor might be required to simply give that sibling notice of the probate of the will, even if the will gives that sibling nothing, but only if that sibling would inherit some part of the estate in absence of the will. As with all legal questions, the specific answer may differ from state to state depending on that state's laws. So you must check those laws to get the precise answer.
Does one sibling is living with a parent that dies have that sibling more rights than other siblings not living with parent at the time of death?
In general, living arrangements typically do not affect the rights of siblings when a parent dies. The distribution of assets and inheritance is usually determined by the parent's will or state laws, regardless of where the siblings live. Each sibling is entitled to their fair share of the estate according to these established guidelines. Consulting with a probate lawyer can provide specific advice based on the individual circumstances.
Can a sibling ask POA to show records of accounts?
Yes, a sibling can request a power of attorney (POA) to show records of accounts, particularly if they have a legitimate interest in the affairs being managed. However, the POA is not legally obligated to disclose records unless specified in the POA document or required by law. If the sibling is concerned about the management of the accounts, they may need to consult a legal professional for guidance on their rights and options.
What are the other sibling rights to mother's property if one sibling has power of attorney and the other sibling never left home and is over forty years of age?
Power of Attorney is to give the sibling mentioned and acknowledged by the mother to perform their affairs when the mother cannot such as paying bills; investing money, etc., and no one else can take the right away from the Power of Attorney mentioned since the mother requested this person, not even the sibling who is 40 years old and living at home. Once a parent dies the Power of Attorney no longer exists and the Executor (male) or Executrix (female) named will put the Will into Probate which will pay off any debts before the Estate is settled and any property or monies left will be divided as the parent's Will stated.
