Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

probate action

hello, My Father died 3yrs ago and left no will but in the meantime while he was alive he posted my stepsister for POA. Now how can I dist. the money and property since she wont. Also since i'm a biological daughter can I sell the property even though she was active POA on the quit claim deed. If she put her signature on his chking acct before he died would she'd have to him to sign as well or not. And wasnt it our right to see any and all documentations on where this money has been going. and are there any legal charges that could be brought against her.

Re: probate action

A power of attorney is NOT valid after death. You need to go through probate.
