Apply to the probate court for the power. If the circumstances warrant it, they can grant that power.

With consent, yes. Without consent, no. If you do take them in without consent, it could cause legal issues, up to and including kidnapping charges.
If your spouse granted to you a power of attorney you can sell your jointly owned real estate without their additional consent. You should have an attorney draft the deed to make certain it is proper for your jurisdiction and the POA is also properly drafted.
You need to consult with an attorney who can review the title and how it was created. If the sibling was unmarried and without children their interest may pass to you. However, you may need to probate their estate. If there is a surviving spouse or children of the deceased sibling the situation becomes more complicated. The attorney can advise you of your options under your state laws.
No, in most case a 16 year old cannot hire their own attorney without the consent of their parent. This is unless the law of the state that the child is living in, dictates otherwise.
It will depend on the terms of the will, which may include the executor's right to exercisediscretion when differences arise between the benficiaries.You need to consult the family lawyer who's handling the estate.
No, the executor has no right to change a will. Only the testator can change a will.
No, they cannot, unless they have a court order.
Not nearly enough information is given. If the "estate" being referred to is the 'estate' of a deceased parent(s) the siblings have only as much authority over the estate as the will of the deceased allows them. They each inherit individually what the will gives them, and if they inherit anything jointly, they cannot do anything with their joint-inheritance without BOTH being in agreement. It sounds like the questioner needs the advice of an attorney.
Yes, you can sue for sale in partition without consent of the other owners.
The succession would be the biological father. If he is deceased, then the oldest biological sibling. The siblings can agree to appoint 1 sibling who is not the eldest, but the agreement should be in writing. You should likely consult an attorney to be sure what to do. The life insurance company would likely need something from a Court for Intestate deaths.
No, not without that persons consent. Not to mention that person would have to qualify.
