Q: Can 1 sibling get power of attorney over an estate that's in 4 other siblings names also?
When my mom passed 11 years ago I went to a lawyer to get the house in me and my siblings names.It states once they turn 18 years old they will have equal shares in the house.One sibling is only 12 which I have custody of.
A:
Sorry but your question has some missing components.
Typically a power of attorney is granted by the living party to appoint someone to act for them. Also when your mom died any power f attorney she had granted died or ended.
You also reference a deed that was done. In order to give advice on how that deed will operate one would need to read it.
I recommend that you consult with a real estate attorney in your area about this topic.
Good luck.
