Re: Mom died in April 2007 need a power of attorney
Yes, your mom's part of the house will need to go through probate, as well as her other assets. Part of the probate process involves identifying someone who will be in charge of handling the dead person's assets and debts. It sounds like this should be you.
If IndyMac wants to see a power of attorney regarding your mother's property, they're confused - powers of attorney are no longer valid after someone dies.
