Deceased Tax Filing
My father passed away on December 23rd. Although I was his power of attorney while alive, I have no paper like a living will to indicate I was in charge of his affairs when he passed. He had an outstanding bank balance which I am now going to pay with his 2008 tax return which I filed on his behalf. Since the account is closed, it is going straight to bank personnel instead of into the account. When the debt is paid there will be almost 700.00 left. Am I entitled to the remainder? I do have a paper we both signed when he was taken under hospice care stating I was in charge of all of his decisions & care choices. Is that valid?

My 80 yr old mother had power of attorney, guardianship, living will, etc drawn up in Texas in 1999. She now resides in Indiana. Are these forms legal here or do they need to be redone?
Thank you for your assistance.

We were trying to sell our home and were approached with an offer to rent the house with an option to buy. We agreed to this and had both a rental agreement and a separate option to purchase agreement written up and signed by both parties. The lease started on July 1st. In April, our tenants notified us in writing that they would be unable to obtain financing to purchase the property and would move out and return our keys on June 30th. In mid-June, they requested an extension of 10 days. We responded in writing that they needed to vacate the property by the 30th, as indicated in both the lease and their notice to us. They did not vacate the property until after 11:00 p.m. on July 1st. Can we charge them an additional months rent due to their delay in vacating the premises as agreed?
Also, they caused extensive damage to the inside and the outside of the property, including killing all the landscaping in the front yard (all new landscaping had been completed less than one year prior to placing the home on the market at a cost of over $800). Our lease stated that the property was to be returned to us in the same condition as it was received. Are we entitled to recover expenses to remove the dead landscaping, put in new landscaping, and be reimbursed for our time and labor to do so? They also killed a mature maple tree which we had to have cut down and hauled off the property, are those expenses for which we can be reimbursed? Thank you

Divorce Advice
I’m a third party in this situation, my fiancee and his current wife have been separated for two years. They are still going through the divorce paperwork, etc. They bought a house two and a half years ago, (she lived in the house for about 6 months). He would like to keep the house, she moved out at the beginning of the separation period. He asked her to sign a quit claim deed and she refused stating that it would stay on her credit. Can he refinance the home in means of removing her name but take no cash back – only refinance for the amount due on the home? Is this something that needs to go through their attorney or can they do it on their own with the mortgage lender? What exactly is a quit claim deed? I know that I’m being selfish but before I join this circus, (I have never been married), I just want to know what I am getting into. I don’t want him to refinance the home for any extra money, which I’m assuming that she would receive half and I end up on the mortage making payments on money that she received.
