There are a lot of legal ramifications to this. What, specifically, is your question? And, if this is an actual event and not a theoretical one, you need the assistance of an attorney ASAP.
The power of attorney ends with the death of the grantor. The executor handles the estate.
Yes. He should also speak with someone in the District Attorney's office about a criminal complaint.
If you like the way it looks, you can keep it in your house. Otherwise, either sell it or trash it.
I actually have 2 questions 1. Can a power of attorney be written up by a title company when a peice of real estate is sold. And does that mean that the power of attorney can be used for all other aspects of an estate. 2. Can this power of attorney be signed without my mother's approval?
Yes, the property can be sold. That is one of the reasons people grant a PoA for such jobs.
If someone else "sold" the land, then either it was no longer your land (was taken from you legally and then sold), or you are incompetent (has been sold on your behalf), or the sale may be completely void (forged your signature or whatever). This occurs from time to time and you need to have an attorney find out the reason for it and explain it to you, to see if you can get it back.
A power of attorney can be set up with limitations. It may be limited by a specific event, such as the sale of a house or car. It is also going to end at the death of the person granting the power of attorney.
* Why would you need their power of attorney? The only reason you would need that is if they didn't give you proper title when they sold it to you. And in that case it would be a lot easier just to get the title. * You ask them for it.
If they have been living in the house you ned to give them notice to move out. You should consult with an attorney in your area who specializes in probate and real estate law. She/he can review your situation and explain your options. You will need an attorney to represent you when the house is sold. The attorney can help you serve legal notice to your other family members that they must move out. A copy of the trust can be attached. Let the attorney guide you.
Get a lawyer. * A petition could be filed in circuit court to revoke the sale but there would need to be substantial evidence of wrongdoing. The best choice would be to discuss the case with a qualified attorney. Most attorney's offer free or minimal fee consultation to discuss options available.
You should go and get advice from an attorney.
If someone else has power of attorney I believe they can sell the car for the dead person (or a person who cannot think for themselves.)
