my dad’s will
I am durable power of attorney for my dad and his house is in my name by way of a life estate. In his will he has my sister and my brother as being entitled to equal shares of his estate. I have lived in the house for 2 and a half years and have done major repairs and improvements. I have paid the property taxes and also have an 18 month old daughter living there. the house was put in my name before the will was made and I have been the one caring for my dad for over 5 years. Upon his death will I have to sell the house and divide the money between siblings?

When someone has given durable power of attorney to another person and the issuer dies, doesn’t the power of attorney status stop? Also is it legal to charge someone to be their power of attorney?

What type of Petition for Conservator
My mother who is 88 years old had a stroke last week. First one. She is now hospitalized in Nevada County, California. Up to the time of her stroke she was able to completely handle her affairs but this time is no longer competent to handle them. She is now limited in speech, can not write, walk or do anything for herself. She has some comprehension but can not communicate very well because the stroke has affected her speech. Most likely she will never come home again and will either remain hospitalized or stay in a nursing home. She has given a Durable Power of Attorney to my nephew who is a schizophrenic. Not a great choice. Here is my question. Since she is unable to deal with everyday finances, bills, mortgage payments etc I need to take care of them to keep her estate intact.

Statutory Durable Power of Attorney
I was made agent (attorney-in-fact) in a Statutory Durable Power of Attorney for my mother. This was executed December 9, 2003 in Texas. My mother died January 23,2004 following surgery for a brain tumor. Her Will written in Oklahoma ~ 1999 has her preacher as the Administrator. I know she wanted me to be the Adminstrator of her Will. Does my being named Agent in the Power of Attorney replace the Adminstrator named in her Will? This Statutory Durable Power of Attorney has broad and sweepin powers including estate, trust and other beneficiary transactions.
