Re: boyfriend dies and mother is trying to get POA
The outcome will be affected by several matters to include whether your boyfriend had a last will and testament and the type of organization that the business is set up as.
The POA has no effect, that is it is void of effect, after someone dies. A POA operates only during the life of the person who grants the POA. You should contact an attorney for assistance.
