A parent may leave one child who has been of extraordinary help and comfort a greater share of their estate by will. However, if the parent dies intestate, as often happens, then the property will pass according to the laws of intestacy in your parent's state.

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.

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.
