- Q. Can Guardian (SC) file in TX Petition Modify Parent child relationship on behalf of Incapacitated Adult ward
- A: Guardianship always needs to be verified. However, it depends on the petition if the Guardian actually has the right to file it. Not knowing what is in the petition makes answering this question really hard. You should contact a family attorney near you who is familiar with the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA) and the Uniform Adult Guardianship and Protective Proceedings Jurisdiction Act (UAGPPJA) - A Board certified family lawyer should be familiar with this as well.
- Q. My passed away without a will almost 5 years ago, what does my need to prove she has a legal to claim a settlement check
- A: You have to go to court and get a probate administration started. The lawsuit needs someone to be able to sign on behalf of the estate, that will only work if there is a court appointed administrator or executor.
- Q. My dad passed away in June, I have his Durable power of attorney. No Will . I want to sell his house. Can I do this?
- A: You will have to follow your dad's will, and probate it. Presuming he had a will. If he had no will, then the laws of intestacy of your state will govern who gets what. You will not be able to use the POA to sell the house, a POA "dies" when the person granting it died. You will have to follow the correct probate procedure to deal with the sale of the house, whether this is probating the will or starting intestacy procedures.
