Power of Attorney/Legal Documents
My grandmother has passed away and in 1998 she had power of attorney paper done by an attorney. With these papers the bank and other places state that these paper are no longer valid, because she died. However in the papers it clearly states ”this power of attorney shall not be affected by my subsequent disability or death” ”This power of attorney shall continue in force and may be accepted and relied upon by any person to who it is presented dispite my purported revocation of it or my death, until actual written notice of either event has been received by that person. Any bank or trust company may rely upon the continuance of this power of attorney until receives written notice of its revocation.” What does PA law state? Are these papers still legal or are they no longer due to the fact she has now passed? If they are sill valid how do I prove it to these companys without hassle? The house is already in my name and has been for years. I am already on her checking, just not savings. I want to close both of her bank accounts and transfer her household bills into my brothers name, he lived with her and we just want him to buy my half of the house and place it in his name along with all the house bills.
