”Next of kin” vs executor/power of attorney
My fiance died 5/31. He specified in his advance directives (”Five Wishes”), and last will and testament, that he wants to be cremated and his ashes spread by me. I am designated power of attorney as well. I was just informed today that his brother is ”transporting the body to New York” where he resides and where the deceased used to reside. I cannot obtain any further information from the funeral home or the brother, who has refrained from answering any of my calls. He was fully aware of the deceased’s wishes. Does he have the legal right to do this, and if not, what should I do? Time is of the essence.

What legal documents do teens need
For a senior decisions class, what legal documents should high school seniors (18+) consider? I’m thinking will, health care directive, etc. – we’re preparing them for the real world (or trying to) and want to cover the basics. Have already provided material from King County Bar Asso., but there’s no mention of personal documents. Thanks
My parents are in their 80’s.
My parents are in their 80’s. My father has alzheimers. I am concerned about his welfare in the event that my mother passes away first. My husband and I live in California but my parents reside in Connecticut. I think we need to create some type of health directive and will/trust, etc. whereby my sister and I share in the responsibiity for the survivors care and have equal responsiblitly in the division of their estate upon the final survivors death. My parents have an existing health directive but I do not know if this will be congruant with a new will/trust. Please advise. We want to proceed with some action as soon as possible.
Thanks,
