I love to learn, and I love solving problems. That's why I became a lawyer, and learned to solve legal problems for individuals and businesses and help them fix things when there's a snag.

Trying to become a poa

My uncle needs a power of attorney

Holly T.

Answered Jun 17, 2022

A POA is best done through an attorney to ensure the verifying/interested parties are proper, the agreement includes what the principal wants, the principal is competent in case of a challenge and it's filed properly if necessary, for example if it will be used to transfer property. All persons should have a POA, HCPOA, Advanced Directives and Will. You can also pull the POA form out of the general statutes of NC. The form is included in the law.

Will

Illinois

Asked on May 30, 2025

Can I designate a non-family member as the executor of my will?

I am in the process of creating my will and estate plan, and I am considering designating a close friend as the executor instead of a family member. My family dynamics are complicated, and I do not have a strong relationship with any of my relatives. I trust my friend's judgment and organizational skills, and I believe they would be better suited to handle the responsibilities of executing my will. Can I legally appoint a non-family member as the executor, and what factors should I consider when making this decision?

Megan W.

Answered Jun 20, 2025

Yes, you can appoint anyone you want as your executor of the Will.

Affidavit of Heirship

Asked on Aug 8, 2021

What are inheritance rights for niece and nephew?

My Aunt passed away July 9, 2021 and she had a will. On the will she stated that she wants everything left to my mother whom is deceased as well and executer of estate is my sister.

Jane C.

Answered Aug 23, 2021

Does the will have a provision that states who will receive your aunt's assets if your mother predeceased her? If not, I believe the rules of inheritance found in the New York Statute will govern. https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/laws/EPT/4-1.1. Your sister needs to go to the Probate Court and/or consult an estate attorney.

Power of Attorney

Ohio

Asked on Jan 23, 2025

Can a Power of Attorney be revoked if the person who granted it is now capable of making decisions?

Can a Power of Attorney be revoked if the person who granted it is now capable of making decisions? I have been granted Power of Attorney for my elderly mother who was deemed mentally incapable of making decisions due to dementia. However, her condition has improved significantly, and she is now able to make decisions on her own. I want to know if it is possible to revoke the Power of Attorney and return decision-making authority to her.

Michelle M.

Answered Jan 26, 2025

A power of attorney does not take away the decision-making authority of the principal. It appoints someone to act on behalf of the principal as provided in the document, but not to the exclusion of the person granting the power. If your mother granted power of attorney to you it allows you to act on her behalf, but she can also still act on her own. If she wants to revoke the power of attorney she can do so at any time, but given her diagnosis that may not be wise. It's likely the document will be needed again at some point in the future. The only proceeding that removes decision-making ability is a guardianship, which is done in the Probate Court (this is different than a power of attorney). Hope that helps!
