Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Pennsylvania
Death of last living parent
My sister lives in Mo. I live in Pa. My father moved from Pa to Mo to live with my sister. He passed away recently. All his legal ties (will, accounts, etc) are in Pa. What do I have to do, how do I get started settling his estate. My sister is named as executrix in the will. Do I need power of attorney?

Re: Death of last living parent
If your father was a resident of Mo. then that's where the will would be probated.
Even if you want to become an agent of your father you can not. After death his estate is handled by the executrix.
If you have any questions feel free to contact me. The initial consultation is free.
