You say your sister is the trustee. You say she left everything to your sister and you. Something is strange. Did your mother leave it in a trust or to the two of you in a will? If your mother recently died and things are in the middle of probate, there probably is not a whole lot that can be done except to make sure things are not messed up in probate court. You need to make sure that the probate court ruling recognizes your interests. If probate is over and you are still not getting anything, you had better get with your sister. If she will not start giving you your share, you will need to see a lawyer.
If the trust fund was established for you and left to you via a will, and you believe that the provisions of the will are being violated, you can appracoh the Probate Court and report the situation.
You can obtain a copy of your mother's will at the probate court where the estate has been filed.
Yes. The POA expired at the moment your mother died. Your sister has no power over your mother's assets. You need to petition the probate court to be appointed the executor. Once you have been appointed you will have full authority over your mother's assets and the settling of her estate.
When your mother died, the executor took her place. The executor may not act without approval of the probate court. Your forclosure action must be against your mother's estate, as she is deceased, there you must go to probate.
IF the daughter signed some type of contract or agreement stating she was responsible for the mother's bills, perhaps. If the daughter was named Executrix of the mother's will, yes it would be appropriate. If she was not, she should tell the lender she has no obligation to pay the debts of the mother's estate and to contact the Executor of her mother's will (or the Probate Court if she died intestate).
Probate court will make the decision since there is no will.
A Power of attorney expires immediately upon the death of the principal. If your parent has died the POA is no longer in effect. If your parent left a will naming your sister as the executor the will must be submitted to the probate court. The court will review the will to determine if it is valid under state laws. If it is allowed then your sister will be appointed the executor if no other person objects to the appointment. Once she has been appointed by the court as executor your sister will have the authority to settle the estate according to the provisions set forth in the will, according to the state probate laws and under the supervision of the probate court.
First, has an estate been open with the Court of jurisdiction? If not, then you don;t need to do anything. If there was a probate proceeding opened you will need to check with the court. they will give you all the information you need to close your mother's estate properly.
