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.

Can a power of attorney be revoked?
Can a power of attorney be revoked in the case where I appointed my brother as my power of attorney, but he has abused his authority by making financial decisions that are against my best interests, and I no longer trust him to act in my best interests? I granted him power of attorney due to a temporary disability, but I have since recovered and would like to regain control over my financial affairs.
Damien B.
Yes, a power of attorney can typically be revoked, provided you are mentally competent. Since you mentioned that you have recovered from the disability and no longer trust your brother to act in your best interests, you should be able to revoke the power of attorney and regain control over your financial affairs. You or an attorney can draft a Revocation of Power of Attorney, provide to your brother, banks and other entities to inform them of the revocation.

I want to leave my house to my grandson but give my daughter the right to live there as long as she lives. What kind of wording is needed in my will in WA State?
I want to leave my house to my grandson but allow his mom (my daughter) to live there through the end of her life. How do I word this in my will? The three of us have always lived together; my wife died recently.
Matthew S.
You would leave the house to your grandson while granting your daughter a life estate in the property.

How do I exclude a child from my will?
I want to write my will and exclude an estranged son. Can I just have a paragraph stating my son's name and that he is to receive nothing whatsoever from my estate? Should I leave him $1.00? Is there a preferred approach to make sure he can't contest my will and receive anything? We've been estranged for years. Thanks.
Matthew S.
Yes, you could structure your will in that way. You don't even need to leave $1.

What's vacation time in an employment contract?
I recently accepted a new job and I was provided an employment contract to review. In the contract, there is a section about vacation time, but it is not very clear. I'm trying to understand what vacation time is included in the contract and what the expectations are for taking time off. I want to make sure I have a clear understanding of my rights and responsibilities regarding vacation time before I sign the contract.

You can create your own will. However, having an attorney draft it for you will ensure that your wishes are carried out in all circumstances. Doing it yourself without having any experience may cause many problems after your demise.

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.

I got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
