The Power of Attorney is extinguished when the principal dies. Therefore, the attorney-in-fact has absolutely no power or authority over anything once the principal has died. At that point their duties have ceased.

You have a loved one who died and she named you beneficiary to her estate after her husband dies. Her estate was probated her husband remarried and died intestate. What are your rights?

Your situation is not clear. If your loved one provided her husband with a life estate with the remaining estate to go to you after his death then the remaining property belongs to you. However, it depends on such factors as how the property was held, the exact language in the will and whether the surviving husband was given any power of appointment. If your loved one's estate was probated you should contact the attorney who handled the estate and ask her/him to explain any rights you may have. If that's not possible you should consult with a private attorney who specializes in probate law who can review your situation and explain your position.

Are adult children responsible for paying deceased parents taxes?

Taxes need to be filed by April 15th of the year that follows the person's death, whether money is due or a refund is owed. You still use the same form as your Mom would if she were alive, but write DECEASED where it asks for her name. If there are any medical bills for the year, they can be deducted on the return. Does your mom have enough money left to pay the taxes that are owed? If yes, then pay when submitting the tax return. If not, you might want to consult a tax professional.
