You take a considerable amount of risk by drafting your will without legal help. If you are going to go to the effort you want the will to be valid and to distribute assets the way you and the law allows. I would at the very least, consult a lawyer with your draft.

Our office or many law offices would be available to review your draft POA. It should be notarized. You should consider other documents such as a POA for health care decisions if you are going to be looking at things like insurance. You may want to look into this as well.

My sister was killed in a car crash in Tennessee. The driver is being charged with vehicular and reckless homicide. My sister (33) did not have a spouse or children. So who can sue for wrongful death? Can it be my dad, myself and my other sister together? Or is just my dad?

Whether your landlord can change the rate "mid-term" in the lease will depend on the language in the lease. If there is no provision allowing for this- then - no, the landlord shouldn't be able to change the rate during the term of the lease.
