What else can I help you with?
If a one sibling has POA can the other siblings contest the will when the parent dies?
Yes, other siblings can contest the will even if one sibling has power of attorney (POA). Contesting a will typically involves challenging its validity based on factors like coercion, fraud, or lack of capacity. POA does not automatically prevent siblings from contesting the will.
How do you get a poa?
You must have someone assign power of attorney to you by a written legal document that must be signed by all parties in front of a public notary.
If a man with power of attorney for his living mom dies will his POA for his mom transfer to his wife or to the POA of his moms body or to his other living sibling and what legal action is necessary?
The power of attorney for the mother does not pass on to anyone upon the death of the attorney-in-fact. That power dies along with the son. When a person gives her power of attorney to another person (the attorney-in-fact), that choice is considered so personal that it cannot be passed on to any another person. A good POA will include a provision for an alternate attorney-in-fact to be empowered upon the death of the first person in the same way that a will provides for an alternate executor.
What rights does a sibling have when another sister has poa but you can prove they intended and did fraud?
The person harmed (likely the principal) can sue for breach of fiduciary duty. I'm not sure the sibling has any standing, unless it's for tortious interference with inheritance rights.
If you become power of attorney for a deceased sibling can you be held responsible for their debt?
No. There seems to be some confusion as a POA becomes null and void upon the death of the grantor. However, the POA grantee is never responsible for the debt of the grantor beyond said grantor's financial assets.
Can a Power of Attorney refinance a house?
Yes, you can assign someone else to do the refinance for you as a POA form allows you to have someone act in your place for all financial acts legal under law, you can assign a durable, general, or limited power of attorney form.
How do i apply to be administrator of a sibling estate with no will?
Petition the civil court of that jurisdiction. Go ahead and contact an attorney- you will probably need one to draw up the petition to the court.
What if power of attorney doesn't want to do his part?
He should not accept the appointment. The principal should be informed immediately so another attorney-in-fact can be chosen and appointed. The POA should be destroyed immediately if it has already been executed by the principal. If you have been acting as the attorney-in-fact and want to resign you should do so in writing. The principal must revoke the POA in writing and send a copy to notify any entities where the POA has been filed.
Can you resign as a power of attorney?
Yes. No person can be forced to be an agent under a POA; it is purely a voluntary action. Once the agent has started to function as the agent; however, the agent may not simply stop if that would harm the principal. The agent would first have to take necessary steps to protect his principal's interests and then he may resign.
Can the power of attorney keep siblings from seeing a dying parent?
Absolutely not. An individual with a POA to act on behalf of another person has no such power. Your sibling with the POA only has the authority to perform such tasks as signing documents, paying bills, obtaining medical records, and maintaining bank accounts. They have no power to keep you from spending time with your parents.
What does POA stand for?
Price on application (POA)
Can a POA sue a person even if the person who assigned POA is dead?
No. A POA expires when the principal dies.
